The church has a ring of bells, fine organ and a choir founded in 1532.In his 2009 book England's Thousand Best Churches, Simon Jenkins awards the church four stars, saying: "Built over the two centuries of Perpendicular ascendancy after the Black Death, it piles high above its constricted urban site. A style so often dull is here exhilarating, the vistas mystic, the furnishings rich... The Nave is a wonder of proportion. Pevsner attributes this to the old Decorated plan, giving the aisles breadth, while the later masons added height."
