The building was later repaired and beautified under the direction of Nicholas Hawksmoor. At that time the magnificent baroque ceiling was introduced, along with the columns and entablature. Other fittings from this ‘reordering’ which remain are the font and reredos.
The ceiling in this simple church is a magnificent example of the English Baroque and with the classical entablature, the predominant architectural features of the space.
