| The nave has Roman brick quoins at the north-east, forming some of the original 12th century construction. Evidence from excavations for the footings of the new organ gallery supports the conjecture that the 12th century nave was somewhat shorter than the present structure. | |

The 14th century roof of trussed rafters with moulded wall-plates was extensively repaired and limed in 1995 to restore some of the lightness lost when the Tudor plastering was removed in the 19th century. The weathering of an older and higher, possibly thatched, roof may be seen on the east face of the tower. Under the central aisle are the remains of the Vigerous family who lived at Valley House in the 14th - 17th centuries. Visitors may note the grandiose description on the cast iron covers of a late 19th century underfloor heating system (4). |
| At the west end of the nave are the elegant and superbly crafted organ gallery and organ case. The gallery, in classical style, was designed by Nicholas Jacob of Ipswich and built in 1997 by Messrs F A Valiant & Son of Barrow, Suffolk, as part of the ongoing Renewal Programme. |  |
