On the north wall the church has a small brass plaque on the north wall near the altar, commemorating the Great Flood of 1607 when a storm surge is thought to have swept along the Bristol Channel drowning 2,000 people. The plate, about three feet above ground level today at this point, marks the height of the flood waters.
