INTERIOR: consistent treatment to rerearches throughout, with Perpendicular shafts to moulded arches and to arch braced supports of fine roof in late medieval tradition, with openwork spandrels and arch bracing to collars and purlins. Glass by Morris and Co., 1934-5, and original fittings included painted reredos and fine west screen, with integral carved stalls, cinquefoil-headed tracery and coving to balcony area surmounted by organ.
A consistent design of high quality in the Eton and King's tradition, grouping with the fine College (qv) by Daukes.
