The chancel of Holy Innocents was constructed around the same time as the nave - in 1140, but was rebuilt in the 14th century. Early 16th century brickwork framing the entrance to the rood stairs and rood loft is plainly visible. The delicate oak screen of 10 bays, erected in the 15th century, was a beautiful embellishment installed when Margaret Beaufort, the mother of Henry VII, was Lady of the Manor.
