Base of rood screen, with gates, remained in 1865 (see (S3)). Grade I for interior.
For details of the bells see file.
However, (S4) states that the refitting was in 1637-8 and the interior still retains a perfect pre-Ecclesiological north-south layout of the single cell type.

Yes, (S5) confirms that the fire was 1633 but the communion rails, etc. are 1637.
E. Rose (NLA) 1 October 2005.

The 'base of the rood screen' is in fact a low Jacobean screen intended to mark off the chancel but not hide it (S6).

April 2016. Lecture
Notes on the medieval fabric with very sophisticated early C14 chancel owing to the appropriation of St Mary's Abbey York. This paper concentrates on the medival fabric and the repairs undertaken in 1900-01 by William Weir under the auspices of the the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB). Detailed records of repairs made before, during and after by Weir in NRO and field notes kept by the SPAB. For details see (S7).
