Let us begin inside the main south door from the porch. That door is quite ancient. First, look north, i.e. across the church and notice how wide it is. This is due to two enlargements made in the 19th century. In 1846, the north wall of the ancient church was taken down, pillars installed and an extra aisle built to provide extra seating. Some of the old features of the chancel also disappeared and other restoration work done.

Thirty two years later, in 1878, that new north wall was removed and another aisle added to provide seating lost by the removal of a gallery that was in the south aisle. If you look up to the roof above the south door and font area you will see some of the rafters that came from that gallery and were re-used here. Now turn east (right) and stroll along the south aisle. It would have been rather dark when the timbered gallery was there. It would seem that this aisle might not have been part of the original church but added approximately a hundred years later around 1350.

In any event, in order to access the gallery, a door was built in the south wall and is still there and can be seen behind the organ console. The east facing lower window and the smaller one above gave light to the staircase and gallery. There were also two windows in the roof above, now removed, but they can be seen in the drawing of the church as it was in 1780. In the restoration of 1878, the upper part of the ancient church, including the gallery, was pulled down and replaced by new work, including the south aisle window. The two smaller south facing ones were left. The roof covering the south aisle and nave were also rebuilt in 1878, retaining the original pitch and covered in Horsham stone. 

The north aisle was dealt with in the same way. The organ occupying the corner is now the console part only. The pipes and works were moved to the Tower in 1955 when the organ was rebuilt and enlarged. But if you compare the arch at this point with the other two to its left, you will notice that it is different in shape and much higher. It was designed that way to accommodate the whole organ, console and pipes.
