the west bay and three round-arched two-light windows, and on the north face are four similar windows. The east end has a round-arched three-light window. Interior The ceilings of the nave and chancel are plastered barrel vaults. The pulpit dates from the Georgian period, and the painted font from the 17th century. The latter has a fluted bowl with a scrolled cover resting on an octagonal base. It is one of the few painted fonts remaining in the county. The pulpit dates probably from about 1800, and has fluted angle pilasters. Also in the church is a 19th-century family pew. Memorials to members of the Egerton family include a brass relating to an incident in the Crimean War. Philip R. Egerton donated to the church a painting by Caravaggio, or a member of his school, depicting The Deposition from the Cross. A few fragments of pre-Reformation stained glass remain. A war memorial in stained glass to members of the Egerton family lost in the First World War is by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. The organ is a highly original two-manual instrument by William Hill & Sons of London, which is thought to date from about 1860. It still retains its original hand-pumped bellows. In the tower arch is an etched window dating from 2002. There is a ring of five bells. Three of these, dated 1714, are by Rudhall of Gloucester. Of the others, one is by John Warner and Sons dated 1884, and the other is by James Barwell and is dated 1893. The parish registers begin in 1561. External features The churchyard, divided into "Old Ground" and "New Ground", contains the war graves of four soldiers of World War I, three of which are in the New Ground.
