Harrison's description (1911):

The Present Church is mainly E.E. work with some Perp. windows. The piscina is E.E.; and on the S. porch some dog-tooth moulding remains. There is an old stone coffin, found on the Downs, and a large dilapidated old oak chest. Font is 14th c., square, an elegant example of a purely local type. In the Parker Chapel there are several brasses and monuments; one to John Parker and his wife (1543); another to Thomas Parker (1580). The finest monument is the marble tomb of Sir Nicholas Parker (1619), having an effigy of the knight in armour under a canopy, with the kneeling figures of his three wives, and metrical epitaph.
