The northwest transept contains the baptistry with a marble font The ambulatory runs round the apse and is divided from the sanctuary by an arcade with statues of angel musicians in the spandrels. Above this is a frieze in high relief depicting the Adoration of the Lamb, and above this are statues of angels under canopies. The stained glass includes windows by Kempe and Herbert Bryans.
