It is best known for its wonderful wineglass pulpit, made in 1450 and paid for by John and Katherine Goldale. It is painted with the figures of the Four Latin Doctors: Saints Ambrose, Gregory, Augustine and Jerome, it escaped being destroyed or disfigured at the Reformation, unlike those on the screen.

The church also has a fine Georgian pulpit with steps up for the preacher. Also here is another square Norman fonts. This has patterns of arches and diamonds on its sides.
