- the Misericords from the 15th Century (rarely seen in a parish church)
- the brasses dating from the 14th to the 17th Century which includes the famous Henry Hatch brass (a generous benefactor to the town of Faversham)
- the stained glass windows.
The remains of King Stephen are said to lie in the Trinity Chapel.
