Harrison's description (1911):

SS. MARY AND THOMAS. Restored in 1827 and 1904. This large church has some traces of the original work in the arches of nave (13th c.), and the windows on N. nave (12th c.). Note: fine reredos (modern); rood-loft piscina; Petworth House pew; brasses (17th c.); font (14th c.); chalice (16th c.); alms dish, etc., (17th c.). The chief interest lies in the Percy chantry. The 9th, 10th and 11th Earls are buried here. Against N. wall is altar-tomb to Sir John Dawtrey (1527); another of Purbeck marble (defaced). Among the rectors was the fanatical Cheynell.
