Facing you as you enter the church is the Norman arcade of 1081. Incredibly, these piers and arches have stood here for over 900 years. Note the crosses cut into the stone when the Norman building was consecrated. But this is not all. Above one arch, part of a window is exposed, which is one of the few pieces of evidence in Leicestershire of Saxon building activity. From this, we know that there must have been a Saxon building here before the Normans arrived, dating back possibly to the tenth century. The fourth bay, next to the altar, is different and belongs to the same period as the South arcade (now built into the South wall), about 1300.

The font is from the same date as the south arcade (1300) and is of a simple design, with five rectangular pillars.
