The interior barely seats 100 people, but the decorations above the altar - including the triple-arcaded Salviati mosaics - may be the most elaborate in all of Suffolk. The chancel on the east end contains a marble reredos, above which are the mosaics that represent the "Angelic Order" and "Heavenly Jerusalem", which were designed by John R. Clayton.
