Looking West from the central aisle the tower is separated from the church by a handsome oak screen placed there in 1934 in memory of Edgar Bratchell, who during his life took a leading part in most of the village activities. Its door leads to the base of the tower and the oldest memorial in the church, probably that of an early Prior. This is a stone coffin lid in the right hand corner of the floor decorated with a foliated cross in low relief. This same form of cross is used as a badge by the nearby school in Abbs Cross Lane

A bench on the South wall incorporates a list of Priors and Chaplins from Cwemo in1206 to the present day.
