The panelled timber ceiling dates from the 16^th century, and has been much restored since.

The roof bosses feature decorative carvings of flowers, fruit, foliage and stars.   There are also five human heads.  A bearded face above the site of the medieval high altar is said to be the likeness of Ralph Langley, Rector of Prestwich from 1493-95.

This part of the church is known as the nave (from the Latin word meaning ship).  The ship was an early symbol for the Christian church.
