Inside, the nave is Norman, of a simple plan, with aisles added later. The chancel is large and light, and was probably added whilst John Peckham was Archbishop of Canterbury, from 1279 to 1292; the first recorded Rector was also appointed at this time. The 15th century poppy-headed choir stalls have some traces of very old graffiti. Extensive Victorian restoration opened up and further enlarged the space. The dominant memorial, to the north of the east altar, is that of Roger and Joan Boyle; there are also several fine memorial brasses. The churchyard, with a modern extension still in use, is bounded on one side by the railway; new housing developments in the area surround the church. The footbridge over the railway lines is the most direct pedestrian access to Faversham town centre, the station and the recreation ground, so there are quite a few of the living to be encountered among the graves.
