A fine and noteworthy feature in this church is the corbel table which runs nearly all round it.
A legend is connected with a corbel stone near the west end of the north aisle.
The crevice from which he had just issued ended in a narrow and slippery projection, a species of corbel in the peaked wall.
There is also an unbroken corbel table above the windows, of very expressive, life-like heads, no two of which are alike.
Above this is a corbel table of heads and mouldings which interferes with the upper window mouldings.
