IN THE NAVE
The Font: Late 12th century, older than the church. It may have come from Old Sarum. Originally square, the corners were cut off at a later date.
The Corbels and Bosses: The gilded wooden corbels appear to date from the first half of the 16th century. Two, against-the north wall, are of special interest. One includes a shield bearing three badges, a cinquefoil for Leicester and the bear and ragged staff for Warwick. These were borne by John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland and also Earl of Warwick, who received his dukedom in 1551 and was beheaded two years later. The other includes a shield depicting three fetterlocks. This shield was borne by a family of the name of Lovett.
The Royal Arms: Presented by Thomas Pitt in 1712 and are therefore those of Queen Anne.
The Pedestal Alms Box: Early 18th century.
The Pews: The church was re-seated by Thomas Pitt in 1711.
The Pulpit: Jacobean, probably about 1630. It has a fine stair- case with beautiful banisters. Behind it is the preacher's hour glass. Parish records note the purchase, in April 1651, of its bracket, made at the village forge.
The Screens: The chancel screen is of various dates, oldest parts being 15th century. It was restored in 1712, The tower arch screen is also of various dates, part medieval.
Bust of St Lawrence: A plaster copy of that by Donnatello (1386- 1446) at Florence. It was presented in 1958.
IN THE CHANCEL
The Chancel Arch: Original 14th century arch, though much re-cut, Traces of a wall painting (circa 1600) were discovered above the apex in 1957.
The East End: The east window tracery is a 15th century insertion, There are three small fragments of medieval glass in the heads of the lights. The panelling is early 18th century, erected by Thomas Pitt. Some of it is embellished by carving in the manner of Grinling Gibbons.
Piscinae: That on the south side originally had a bowl, That on the north is a 20th century insertion. The head was found under the nave in 1904 and may have been part of a holy water stoup.
The Corbels and Bosses: The corbels are probably early 15th century. The bosses appear to date from the next century. One, on the north wall, depicts the bear of the Nevill family, another a mermaid combing her hair, which was a badge worn by several families, among them the Lapps of Durnford, a few miles up the valley, in the early 17th century.
The Nisbet Tablet: This commemorates Josiah Nisbet, M,D., whose married life was passed in the Cathedral Close and whose practice possibly included Stratford-sub-Castle. After his death in 1781 at the age of 34, his widow went to the West Indies, where she met and, in 1787, married the future Admiral Lord Nelson, then a young captain commanding a frigate.
The Muniment Chest: Probably the one which is noted in the records as having been made in 1582 to replace an earlier one.
The Sanctuary Chairs: Replicas of Late 17th century items stolen in October 1996
