detail of panellingOak Screen

At the rear of the church is a large oak screen. On it are carvings of the signs of the zodiac and wild flowers, with the planet Jupiter on the door plates. These signified the interests of a former rector. The panelling was said to have originally come from Newgate prison when it was demolished and the Old Bailey built in its place.
