 The doorway leading into the nave from the entrance lobby is an unusual war memorial, listing the names of parishioners who died in the First World War on one side, and in the Second World War on the other.St Rufus was built to replace a medieval church of the same name, which was demolished shortly after St Rufus was completed.The sacrament house of the original church was installed in the new church, and now serves as a memorial to a church elder.
