 The tower had a spire but it became unsafe and in 1796 it was removed.St Swithun's most notable monuments are wall-mounted ones in the chancel commemorating John Doyley (died 1593) and his wife, Elizabeth Poole (died 1621) and Richard Harrington (died 1712).The Poole monument has strapwork and Tuscan columns but is significantly mutilated and in want of restoration.
