Chancel rebuilt 1855 to designs of C.A. Buckler, who also designed the alabaster reredos (c.1863); according to the church guide book, James Raymond of Hildersham Hall provided the reredos in memory of his wife and seven children, who all predeceased him, dying of consumption; each of the angels in the spandrels at the top of the reredos represents one of the seven daughters. E window glass of c.1865 by Clayton and Bell. The rector, Robert Goodwin, had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University.

Clayton and Bell carried out the wall paintings c.1889-90, following a scheme designed (according to the church guidebook) by the rector, Robert Goodwin, along with his widowed sister Elizabeth, who helped to finance the work. Goodwin had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University.

In this panel, Saul is struck blind and called to repentance on the road to Damascus. It is at the western end of the N wall of the chancel - the guidebook points out that, as the paintings move eastwards, so the viewer is taken nearer to heaven, the E window being flanked by depictions of Christ's resurrection and ascension.

The easterly of two stained glass windows with C14 figures of saints, "much restored in 1853 by King of Norwich" according to the Buildings of England. On the left, St John the Evangelist, apparently holding the poisoned chalice given him by a pagan priest of Ephesus to test him; the poison escaped from the chalice in the form of a small two-headed dragon, as recounted in the Golden Legend (1228-1298): www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/saint-john-evangelist. On the right, St Mary Magdalene, seen wiping Christ's feet with her hair in the lower panel (which looks to me as if it is entirely C19).

C13 W tower with lancet windows (one is visible below the bell openings); aisles were added in the late C13. However, the church was extensively restored and altered in the C19 - the S porch was added (or rebuilt), the tower heightened (1878), the S transept added (replacing a chapel demolished at the start of the C19) and the chancel rebuilt (1855) in style of c.1300, to the designs of C.A. Buckler. The work was carried out during the incumbency of the Robert Goodwin from 1847; according to the church guidebook, Goodwin had been a leading light in the Cambridge Camden Society during his time at the University and financed some of the work himself, along with his widowed sister, Elizabeth Hemington-Goodwin.
