Design
The interior has dressed sandstone columns and capitals to the side aisles with face brick arches. The side aisles have face brick half arches reflected in the stone buttresses. The tower is taller and slimmer and in balance with the size of the church. The stained glass in the east and west sides of the church's ends adds to the distinction of the interior.
