Summary

• The east end of the presbytery over the altar has a triforium with five cinque-cusped lancet arches. The shafts are clustered Purbeck marble with molded capitals. There are hood moldings over each arch with pellets on the stops. The clerestory has five stepped arches set in front of the three windows. The central arch is lancet with two incomplete cusped arches on each side. The painting is Victorian era restoration after the interior was whitewashed by James Wyatt in the 1790's.
