Also inside the church embedded into the inner archway of the north doorway is an inscribed stone, dating from 270 CE. The inscription in Latin reads: FLAVIUS VS VOTO SVSCEPTO OMPOSU (OR VOTO ARAM POS) which when translated reads 'Flavius after fulfilment of his vow set this up'.
Close to the font is a 13th century gravestone belonging to Peter de Cestria who died in 1295, and in the south wall a Medieval piscina, again of the 13th century. There a number of other interesting artefacts in the church and in the graveyard (including three 11th century Anglian crosses) - so it's well worth a visit.
