Sir George Gilbert Scott repaired the mediaeval windows in the north and south walls but removed the box pews; the memorial plaques were removed from the walls and placed elsewhere in the church. The specification recites that the whitewash and plaster should be removed from the walls, and both the chancel walls and those of a vestry proposed for the north side be rendered and set in stucco. However, the vestry was not built, and it is not known whether the walls were ever finished in stucco, or if a change was made subsequently, as the ashlar stonework matches Perkins’ work in the nave. Observant visitors will see a stone with an ancient chevron marking on the wall by the St. Francis window.

At the same time as the other work of Sir George Gilbert Scott a new oak roof was built, with tiles instead of the previous wooden shingles and a new window was inserted in the east wall, and glazed in memory of Thomas Webb, founder of a firm making high-quality glass, who retired to Cradley. (Made by Hardman & Co of Birmingham, it is somewhat unusual as it features the Resurrection rather than the Crucifixion.)
