Most of its interest lies in the North Chapel, much of whose fabric, including the floor tiles, was brought from nearby Dale Abbey.

There are four beautiful windows here from Dale, containing some of the best medieval glass in the country.

Virtually filling the chapel is a collection of monuments to the Sacheverell family, many from the 16th century.
