The Chancel
Stained glass windows
The east window contains some very beautiful 14th century stained glass in the upper part as does the window on the south side of the chancel. Undoubtedly this glass came from the original east window in the choir of the Collegiate church. Some of this glass is also found in the tracery of the nave windows. On each side of the east window are painted the ten commandments there are also memorials to people associated with the Newdegate family.
Altar
This dates from the 17th Century with a Flemish triptych as a reredos which depicts the taking down of our Lord from the cross. It was given to the church in 1905 by Sir Francis Newdegate. On each side of the altar there is a gilded lantern on a stand each of which has the lion of St Mark engraved on the pennants fixed to the top. Purchased in Venice and presented to the church in 1903 by Sir Francis it is said that they were gondola lanterns.
Chancel Floor
Set in the tesselated marble pavement is a large stone slab inscribed to the man who rebuilt the church in it's present form, Richard Chamberlayne. Underneath the chancel steps is the entrance to a vault which was rediscovered when the church foundations were being strengthened in the 1950's.
