Interior
The interior is described by Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel as "a splendid example of ... complete Gothic self-assurance with Victorian Punch".[1] The stone font by Middleton has a canopy designed by H.A. Prothero (made 1896 by William Letheren). Letheren also made the wrought-iron Chancel Screen. The south transept rose window follows an Edward Burne-Jones design (made 1901 by Morris & Co.).
