Inside, rather more of the history of the church is evident. Much of it dates from the early 14th century, though the earliest parts are from a century before that.

There are fragments of medieval glass in some of the windows (though most have dark Victorian glass), and an array of ancient coffin lids.

The church is renowned for having one of England's earliest brasses. This is to Sir Roger de Trumpington, who died in 1289. He is shown wearing chain mail, and his shield bears the Trumpingon coat of arms. The brass lies on a table tomb with canopy above that is of a later date than the brass.
