There is a public passageway under the chancel, which was rebuilt in 1394.[1] The west tower once had a lead-covered spire, bearing the date 1697,[5] but this was removed in 1840.[1]

Most of the stained glass dates back to the late 19th century, and was made by J and J King of Norwich.[4]

The building is managed by the Norwich Historic Churches Trust. After being made redundant as a parish church, it was used as an arts centre, which closed in September 2012. The following year it was leased out for use as an antiques centre.[3]
