Capt. Robert Moyle was placed in front of it. In 1893 the monument was taken down and unfortunately broken in the process and it now lies on the floor, awaiting repair, until other more essential restoration work has been completed.
Unusual features are the step down from the level of the nave into the chancel, and a few encaustic tiles in the floor of the vestry, which are similar to some found in Canterbury Cathedral.

The recently re-opened south porch contains a feature, which is believed to be unique and may be attributable to the church’s historic position astride the Pilgrims’ Way. The porch was adapted as a shelter for wayfarers by the building of a beautiful Tudor-style fireplace with herringbone hearth and backing. It is said that on the last stage of the journey from Winchester to Canterbury, pilgrims rested here until there were enough of them to brave the onward road through King’s Wood, which was known to be infested with robbers.
