The chancel screen > Link combined with the parclose screens of both north and south aisles stretches across the whole width of the church > Link. The chancel screen dado is painted with apostles on a background of gilded gesso ornaments > Link. The north aisle screen panels depict angels > Link and prophets > Link are painted on the panels of the south aisle screen. The panels of the seven Sacraments font > Link have been removed, the font cover is part of the Victorian restoration.
