The interior of the church is lined in bricks with stone dressings. The piers of the north arcade have a quatrefoil plan, and those of the south arcade are octagonal. At the east end of the north aisle is the organ loft, and there is a chapel at the east end of the south aisle.[5] The wooden pulpit is carved with sunflowers and leaves, anticipating motifs used by Art Nouveau.[6] The large sculpted reredos was installed in 1879. Also in the apse are mosaic panels, and the chancel is floored with encaustic tiles.[2] The stained glass includes windows by C. E. Kempe with depictions of saints, leaders of the church and Sir Philip Sidney.[5] The three-manual pipe organ was made by Hill and Son, and rebuilt in 1895 by A. Young.[7]
