E. Rose (NLA).
A Faculty was granted in 1881 to remove the galleries and seats in the nave and transepts and to install new pews.
E. Rose (NLA), 28 February 2006.
In fact the church was rebuilt in the mid 18th century and John Brown only made alterations, principally the nave roof. The chancel is a rare survival of an 18th century Classical building.
The organ, by Norman and Beard 1900, has the pipes clad in silver foil, which may be unique.
