As in many other City churches, the ceiling was very elaborate; the carvings were numerous and of rich design.

The organ, by Schmidt, had been thoroughly restored by 1900, thanks to the energy of the rector, the Rev. J. S. Barrass, chaplain to the Lord Mayor, and a fine window in memory of Sir Thomas More had been recently unveiled by Mr. Gully, the Speaker of the House of Commons.

The exterior of the church is stately, the east end almost pure Grecian, and the lofty steeple is crowned by way of a vane with a gilt gridiron, the emblem of the saint who is supposed to have suffered martyrdom by being slowly grilled.
