The Furnishings
Altar and Altar Rails
These date from the 17th century and the rails comply with
the regulations laid down by the Bishop of Norwich in 1663:
"Neer one yarde in height, so thick with pillars that
dogges may not get in".
Pulpit
This was originally a three-decker, dating from the 17th century,
and adapted to its present form in 1908. After the bombing
the present copy was made, incorporating the original vertical
carving, door and Southernmost panel.
Font
The Font dates from 1673. The marble is original, the cover
a reproduction of the one destroyed in the bombing.

Chained Books
The only chained books in any London Church were the gift
of Sir Hans Sloane (1661-1753), and consist of the Vinegar
Bible (1717), two volumes of Foxe's Book of Martyrs (1684),
a Prayer Book (1723) and Homilies (1683).
Ashburnham Bell
Hanging from its headstock in the Porch is the bell presented
by the Hon. William Ashburnham as a thank-offering in 1679.
Stained Glass
The Cartouche in the West window of the Lawrence Chapel is
German or Flemish of the 16th century; and the panels in the
North and South windows at the Westernmost end of the Nave
are of 17th century Flemish stained glass.
