in the south wall of the chancel is a piscina under a cinquefoil head. The piscina seems extremely low, suggesting that the original chancel floor was much lower than it is now.
There are small fragments of medieval glass in the north-east and north-west nave windows, and small glass flowers and foliage in the clerestory windows.
There are several very good memorials, including a poignant tablet to two sisters, Anne and Marie Stegall, who died in 1779 and 1793 respectively. They were sisters of William Stegall, a rector of Wyverstone from 1739-1794. He also served as Chaplain to the Dowager Countess Cornwallis. He is buried in the south-east corner of the churchyard with his wife Ann.
The church is usually open daily to visitors and we found it open when we visited.
