- The Mural: On the North wall of the Baptistery was painted about 1961 by Mr. Fyffe Christie of Seven Kings, an art teacher who was trained in mural painting at the Glasgow School of Art.
- The Arms of the Duchy of Lancaster: In the middle of the front of the Gallery indicates the Patron. Since 1557 the advowson has belonged to the Duchy of Lancaster.
- The Pews: Those at the west end of the Nave are carved oak of fifteenth century date.
- The Pulpit: Was erected in 1812, but the six oak panels are sixteenth century.
- The Altar Rails: Belong to the seventeenth century and were no doubt put in after the Archdeacon's Visitation of 1683, when it was ordered that "the Communion Table be railed in."
- The Memorials: Apart from the two windows already mentioned, there are a number of other interesting memorials, most of which are in the Chancel.
