The pews may have come from Cerne Abbey at the Dissolution. The west window is 14th century panelling behind the altar is 16th or 17th century. |
Nothing is said about the font but the bowl appears to be of an earlier date than the stem. |

A view to the south west from the church. The large farm house on the extreme left has architectural features from the 16th century. |
A view from the church to the north west. Possibly Manor Farm in the distance? |
