 St Rufus has been described as "a fine example of a more or less complete and original early 19th century church interior, on a grand scale".The main internal doorway into the nave from the entrance lobby at the east end incorporates an unusual war memorial.The outer sides of the recessed double doors bear polished panels, listing men from the parish who died in the First World War; the inner side of the same doors bear similar, albeit smaller and less elaborate, panels recording those who died in the Second World War.
