A pan of the insides of this famous church whilst the organist practises and two ladies pass their time. The painting hanging above the west gallery & entrance is the famous 16th century 'The Last Supper' by Franz de Cleyn. The present building dates from 1822. This sits above the site of the original mediaeval church. Old vaults lie beneath the present floor and many old memorials were retained and unmoved. Charles Hollis was the architect for the present church. One notable feature are cast iron columns and iron ribs that support a 84' x 60' roof. In 1870 the Chancel and Apse were added by the church architect Samuel S. Teulon. The church organ was installed and working for Easter Day 1906. (Hunter and Sons) The organ & painting were fully restored in 2003.
