There is no structural division between the nave and the chancel. The roof is a hammerbeam by Pountney Smith, which is supported on the original stone corbels.[5] One of the corbels is carved with a Green Man.[3] The roof is decorated with carved shields acting as bosses, pendants, and traceried panelling.[1] Some of the shields are those of knights who fought in the battle with Henry IV.[2] Between the nave and chancel is a timber screen with traceried panels and an ogee central arch. This was also inserted at the restoration.[1] The church is paved with encaustic tiles made by Maw of Ironbridge.[1][5] In the southeast part of the chancel is a triple sedilia, a piscina, and a blocked doorway that formerly led to the chaplains' quarters. The doorway on the north of the chancel leads to the vestry (the former Corbet mortuary).[5] The reredos was designed by Pountney Smith, and contains high relief sculptures depicting the Nativity, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. The font and the pulpit were also designed by Pountney Smith.[5] The pulpit is in stone with a white marble panel depicting Moses striking the rock to produce water. The top of the font is octagonal and is carved with angels. The ends of the wooden pews are carved with birds and animals.[3] In the chancel is an oak pietà dating from the middle of the 15th century which was moved from the church at Albright Hussey.[1][5] In the vestry is stained glass from a number of sources, including original glass from the church, possibly dating from about 1434–45, and some early 16th-century French glass brought here from Normandy. In the body of the church is glass by Lavers and Barraud dating from 1861–63. The east window in the chancel contains a depiction of Mary Magdalene, and in the north and south windows are the twelve apostles. The west window of the tower depicts Christ and John the Baptist.[5] Also in the church is a wall memorial to the Corbet family under three ornate arches, hatchments, and Victorian gas fitments.
