NOTES: The main altar and reredos were moved from the east apse to the north of the church in 1781 when it underwent reorientation to accommodate a larger congregation. The east apse thus became a baptismal area. Further alterations were carried out in 1954 when this Gothic Revival screen was installed in the east apse. The main altar and reredos were restored to their original position in the east apse during the extensive restoration of church led by the World's Monument Fund Britain from 2003.
