The stained glass in the vestry, not of any high artistic merit, was not originally in the church, but was brought from France by the Rev. A. J. Pigott, and placed in the vestry.
Outside the church, immediately over the East window, is a niche, surmounted by a canopy, in which stands the statue of Henry IV., about half life-size, crowned, with a dagger hanging on his left side, and his right hand grasping a sword.
On each side of the exterior of the chancel, near the East end, are dripstones, as if intended for the arch of a window, carried up nearly to a point. No window ever was thrown out in either place; and probably the architect’s intention may have been to add small side chapels at some future time.
At the dissolution of the college, two great bells and a sanctus bell were left. These bells are traditionally said to have been carried off to Berrington or Wroxeter in the last century. In 1861 the only bell went to St. Mary’s, Shrewsbury. The present bell is modern, and was cast by Naylor, Vickers and Co. in 1861.
The three sedilia with plain gothic arches, and the piscina adjoining, on the south side of the altar, are original.
In the chancel is a seated figure of “Our Lady of Pity,” the blessed Virgin with the dead Christ in her lap. This is said to have been brought here from Albright Hussey. It is 3ft. 9in. high, and carved out of a block of oak hollowed behind. The execution of the image is good, and it is probably of 14th century work. It was formerly seated in the westernmost of the three sedilia. There was formerly another figure, that of a man, in one of the other sedilia, but it was destroyed at the first restoration of 1749.
Some fragments of the original roof still remain, worked up into the present chancel roof. The corbels at the spring of the roof trusses, some of foliage, but mostly of heads, are original and are well carved. Outside are a few of the original gurgoyles, though most were placed there in 1861.
The nave is entered by a doorway under the tower, which was reopened out in 1861. There are also doors on the north and south sides of the nave, the latter formerly leading into the cemetery; and on the north and south sides of the chancel, the former leading into the vestry, the latter, which formerly communicated with a priest’s chamber, being now bricked up and the organ placed over it.
Above the south chancel doorway, over the organ, nearly up to the roof, is a small square aperture now bricked up, which communicated with an outer priest’s chamber, and enabled its occupants to see inside the church. On the south side of the church, near the second bay from the eastern end, between the second and third buttresses may be seen some masonry, the foundations of a building which was three storeys in height, the upper storeys being approached by a circular staircase, of which the foundations still remain. The lowest storey opened directly into the church by the doorway now bricked up. From the upmost storey the little square window opened into the church. On the buttresses may be seen some projecting pieces of masonry, which supported the topmost storey; over the doorway may be seen against the wall a projecting support for the middle storey. These little rooms were probably only about 9ft. square, and were for the accommodation of the priests whilst on duty at the church.
