The East Window contains the coats of arms of some of the great families concerned with the church and district. Along with the roof the window was restored in the extensive Victorian re-edification.

The prayer desks at the entrance to the Chancel house the Tudor carvings of earlier pew fronts, and in the sanctuary a triple sedilia for the clergy is set into the south wall. Beside these stone seats there is a piscine in the recess in the wall for the disposal of consecrated wine and was used for the cleaning of the communion vessels.

On the north side of the sanctuary the recessed tomb, in the perpendicular style of the 15th Century, is that of Thomas Fleming, 7th Earl of Slane.
