this early c21 fountain is in the grounds of the church, and is in the form of an oyster shell with at one end the head of a triton, beautifully designed as if a green man of the seas. a great pity that the water seems to have dried up, and that this is rather hidden away down one side of the church.

the ceiling inside is probably basically as inigo jones would have designed it with wreaths of oak leaves when he built the church in 1631-3, though it was also originally painted by matthew goodrich. it is not generally recognised that jones often designed with murals and colour in mind. all of that would have gone in the late c18 fire, if not earlier.
