The nave is the most impressive part of the church, lofty and full of light and space. Its five bay arcades have concave sided octagonal columns and capitals with low, fourcentred arches between the heads. The huge four-light clerestory windows are separated by narrow pilaster like strips positioned above the columns. Above the chancel arch is a nine-light window, known as a Cotswold window, which is a characteristic of the larger parish churches in this area.
The stone goblet shape pulpit is 15th century, finely carved with a slender stem and enriched ogee-headed panels.
In 2004, a section of stone tracery broke away from the south clerestory, and this led to an extensive conservation and repair project. This project revealed much interesting historical information and provided the opportunity to record this for the benefit of future generations.
Firstly, the roof of the nave had been extensively repaired in the 1890's, and subsequently in 1983 following an outbreak of fungal decay. Despite this, the roof still retains some of the original material, and the new timbers are a faithful copy of the originals.
Secondly, the narrow section of masonry between each clerestory window carries a post and carved wooden bracket, or spandrel, lining up with the principal roof beams. These brackets, of which there are 20 in total, are deeply carved with a wide variety of themes and images. Similar carvings have been found in other Cotswold wool churches. They are almost impossible to discern from ground level and had never been properly recorded; it was not until scaffolding erected to repair the clerestory allowed close examination that the extent and quality oft s carvings was fully appreciated.
Before the Reformation in the 16 century, the interiors of the majority of parish churches were highly decorated with wall paintings depicting biblical scenes; our church would have been no different. When the grime of centuries was removed during the restoration work, traces of mediaeval wall painting were discovered. The clearest, in the north east corner of the clerestory, is of Mary Magdalene. Flecks of blue, terracotta and umber were found still adhering to the masonry on the walls and columns in all areas.
