The chancel as we see it today is the work of Sir George Gilbert Scott. The lower part of the screen is 15th Century, the upper part is part of Gilbert Scott’s Victorian restoration. In the chancel, the short stall on the north wall is 15th Century, the other stalls are Victorian. The book rests for the front rows were made at the Morgan Motor Company factory in Malvern from ash wood used to make the car frames. Look out for the Morgan cars at the front. The large empty cross hanging above the chancel was also made at the Morgan factory.

The chancel is the same width as the original church; large chancels like this suggest the church was frequently used by bishops and their large priestly retinue. The nearby Old Rectory includes a bishop’s wing, and the living of Cradley has been in the gift of the Bishop since records began.
