In the chancel are sedilia and piscina ; the former consisting of three ogee trefoiled arches under a square label, the latter of a single ogee trefoiled arch with a similar label.

The south transept window is an insertion. The east window is one of five lights, with two foliated circles curiously introduced in the ti-acery above the central light.
