This early 14th century knight lies in the west corner of the south aisle. There are puppies by his pillow.

It is suggested that this is a memorial to a member of the Dykes family.

The nave roof was rebuilt in the 17th century. The decorated pieces between principal rafters and purlins and the fine mouldings are chacteristic of this period.
