The major points of interest in the church are the chapels and the monuments.
The church contains "the finest collection of alabaster effigies in Cheshire".
 The smaller Legh Chapel, built around 1422 and rebuilt in 1620, is now used as a baptistry.
 It contains a number of memorial brasses, including one to William Legh who died in 1630.
 In the Savage Chapel is the Pardon Brass in memory of Roger Legh who died in 1506.
 This was in three parts, one showing Roger kneeling with his six sons, and one showing the Mass of Saint Gregory; the other part, which is missing, is thought to have shown Roger's wife with their seven daughters.
 Its inscription shows that for five Paternosters, five Aves and one Creed, an indulgence will be given for 26,000 years and 26 days in purgatory.

Many of the tombs and memorials represent members of the Savage family and a high proportion of these have the forename of John.
 The tomb of Sir John Savage who died in 1597 and his wife, Lady Elizabeth Manners, are in the Savage Chapel.
On the tomb are their recumbent effigies with Elizabeth, who was the daughter of the Earl of Rutland, at a higher level to reflect her superior rank.
Above them is a canopy on which are two female figures.
 It was this John Savage who built the great mansion of Rocksavage near Runcorn.
To the south of this tomb is a white alabaster tombstone which is thought to be in memory of George Savage, chancellor of the diocese of Chester who died in 1552.
 Also in the chapel is the effigy of a civilian, showing the head and shoulders and the feet, the centre being left as plain masonry.
In the southeast corner of the chapel is the tomb of Sir John Savage who died in 1528 and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Somerset, 1st Earl of Worcester.

In the apse of the chapel are a damaged piscina and aumbry, and a squint giving a view of the main altar.
The altar in the chapel is the original one in stone.
In the north wall of the chapel, between the chapel and the nave of the church, are two more tombs with effigies.
One is Sir John Savage, the elder brother of Archbishop Savage.
He had been a commander at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 and was killed at a siege of Boulogne in 1492.
The other is the tomb of his son, John Savage, who died in 1527 and who was Sheriff of Worcestershire for 24 years.

On the south side of the sanctuary is the tomb of Sir John Savage, who died in 1495, and his wife Katherine, daughter of Thomas Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley.
This is considered to be the finest tomb in the church and contains recumbent alabaster effigies of the couple.
On the south side of the sanctuary is another fine alabaster monument of a knight in armour which is known as the Downes effigy.
This is thought to represent one of the Downes of Shrigley.
At the east end of the south aisle is the tomb of Thomas Savage, 3rd Earl Rivers, who died in 1694.
 He is depicted in a robe with a wig, semi-reclining under a marble canopy which is supported by Corinthian columns.
