The Rood Screen

            Then Chancel viewed from the Nave facing west.

The Rood Screen above the Chancel door, and The Sanctuary with High Altar behind the screen

The windows in the south and north aisles depict Saints directly connected with the British Isles, men on the south (including St Augustine) and women on the north.

The rood is pictured. The word “rood” refers to the Cross. The screen is dominated by the large crucifix accompanied by Passion figures; below are Passion scenes.
The pulpit has five alabaster panels representing Christ and four preachers - Noah, Elijah, St Paul and St John Chrysostom.

The Chancel and Sanctuary (Holy Place) was the first part of the church to be begun but the last to be finished. It is enclosed on all four sides by densely carved stone arcades.
 
The Passion story is continued from the screen on north (organ) side, ending with panels of the Crucifixion and Burial on the reredos behind the High Altar.
 
The Resurrection experiences are depicted on the south side. Also in the chancel are St Cecilia (organ loft), four Archangels, the four Cardinal Virtues, the Four Doctors of the Church, seven seated Archbishops of Canterbury, two sets of thirteen saints and the Twelve Apostles on the east wall.
 
The rood screen and chancel entrance are pictured.

The Nave was completed in 1878; it is 28 feet wide with seven bays and has transepts on the north and south sides. An ambulatory surmounts the nave and necessitates a double arcade which separates the nave from the aisles. A second processional way or triforium surmounts the lower one; visitors may go upstairs on request. Five of the nine clerestory windows depict the angelic hosts. Below each figure are added scenes of the life of Christ. The wall paintings around the nave depict His healing ministry.
