It is the astonishing timber roof of about 1475 that draws the eye: brightly painted beams span the nave, and protruding from them are 12 life sized figures.
Between and among these are painted faces and bosses, including a face believed to be that of Cardinal Morton, whose gift to the church this roof was.
