The Marian martyr Rowland Taylor (1510–55) who was rector at the time of his death, when martyred on Aldham Common, is commemorated in the south east window in St John’s Chapel.

The entire church was refurnished in the post medieval period, and had a double decker pulpit, box pews and a west gallery.
The church was extensively restored in the 19th century and this included removal, in 1855, of the two-storied porch at the south east.
The tower had a wooden parapet which was also removed and replaced in stone.
This was removed in 1926.

In 2018 the church was embellished with an installation of  cascading poppies, as part of the town's commemoration of the Armistice of 11 November 1918.
