CHANCEL

The east window of the chancel, consisting of three cinquefoil lights with intersecting tracery, is early 14th century; the 19th century stained glass, presented by Rector Ellis and his family, depicts Faith, Hope and Charity.

Of the two windows in the chancel north wall, the westernmost is 12th century, albeit heavily restored. In the south wall there is a 14th century piscina and, between the two windows a low priest's door, the external arch of which has stops of grotesque beasts. (Such stops may be seen at several windows and at the doorways; they display considerable artistry and are generally in excellent condition.) Under the chancel lie members of the Umfreville family, who lived at Valley House from 1653 to 1711. The only surviving memorial, to Sir Charles Umfreville, stands against the north wall.
