The interior, which is built from red and purple bricks to make intricate patterns, houses a richly decorated chancel with Decalogue Tablets portraying the Ten Commandments and the Lady Chapel, which was added in 1925 and contains a coloured reredos from 1958. There are also many stained glass windows from different eras, a pipe organ and a clock and bells which were installed as a WWI war memorial.
