Steps lead up to the chancel, whose south transept contains a chapel, and the north transept an organ loft and vestry.}} It is decorated with carving by Grinling Gibbons.{{efn|This was the first organ to be played by Ian Tracey when he was aged six; he is now the Organist Titulaire of Liverpool Cathedral.
