The
Chancel was built about 1100, by the Normans. The
Chancel is thought to have been built originally
with a round apse and small arch, but there were
extensive alterations to it in the 13th and 15th
centuries. There is an aumbry with a brass door
in the right wall of the Sanctuary.

The
present lofty English Chancel Arch is 15th century
with 13th century responds (supports). The Chancel
ceiling was renewed in 1937-8.

The
large stained-glass window behind the Altar was
installed in 1958 as a memorial to Amy Benewith.
It represents Christ's Ascension into Heaven.
The
Piscina to the right of the Altar is 13th century
with a moulded head. The Lavabo (bowl) was made
in the 1970s, and is used by the Vicar for rinsing
his fingers before Communion.

The
stone pulpit is Victorian. It matched a font that
replaced the original Norman font, which was destroyed
in 1907. The Victorian font was given to a church
in North London.
