Twin columns on corbels support keeled chancel arch with floral carving and hoodmould. Chancel: boarded, barrel-vault ceiling. Original fitments: pews, communion rail, octagonal wooden pulpit with tracery and stone plinth, quatrefoil font on granite colonnettes. Foundation stone laid 11.7.1885, consecrated on same date 1886.
