The main church nave has six bays. Most of the roof was constructed from 500-year-old oak timbers salvaged from a monastic barn at Bisham Abbey. It was demolished at the same time the new church was being built in 1877-8. The chancel's east window depicts Christ on the cross, with St John on the right. St Luke was chosen in place of the more usual Virgin Mary on the left because Professor Luke, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, gave the stained-glass windows. The pulpit, altar rails, font and some of the pews are relics of the old church.
