Unfortunately, there were no English guides to this Church available on the day that I visited. Everything else from Chinese to French but no common or garden English. The interior of the Church is rather unusual from the point of view that it does not have a Nave with attached Aisles but has a single name with three bays and three separate Chancels. In front of these Chancels is a restored 15th Century Rood screen which is very unusual in nay church as they were mainly disposed of at the time of the dissolution on the monasteries. The screen has 11 bays and three doorways into each of the three Chancels. The carving at the top of the screen is an ornate mixture of leaves and fruits while the sloping vaulting has elegant carved bosses covered, I suspect, with gold leaf.
