The South Porch
Built around 130, the porch was retained when the main body of the early English Church was demolished in the 14th to 15th centuries. It is now called the Chapel of the Ressurection; dedicated to Bishop Mervyn Haigh in June 1942.
The Nave & Chancel
The Nave was divided into six bays with an arcade of slender pillars and wide winged arches above. There were rows of spacious clerestory windows above. There was no chancel arch thus enhancing the sense of spaciousness within. The Chancel is not directly aligned to the nave, an inclination to the North can be seem where the roof-line is is still visible high up on the East wall where the nave joined with the tower.
The Apse
The Apse is five-sided in form with the large windows of the Sanctuary above, and an ambulatory of vestries below, now part of the International Centre, supported by a series of flying butresses, surrounded by pinnacles which are a recurrent motif throughout the exterior of the building.
