Oak reredos to rear of altar in south aisle. Cross in centre, names to either side carved in relief in capital letters. The decoration includes carved florals, false ogee and trefoil pattern 'tracery' moulding panels. It stands on two legs formed by projecting 'pilaster'-like features that extend to the ground. The two carved inscription panels are doors that open to reveal the hand written roll of honour of all who served.
