The interior of Stoke's church is fairly large and will accommodate c.600.The plan of the interior comprises a long nave with aisles, which are merely passageways, and these aisles seperate the nave from the two side chapels. The sanctuary is quite shallow.

The tall long 9 bay nave has deep internal buttresses which are pierced to form these passageways.

The nave arcade of round headed arches rests on lozenge shaped stone piers placed traverse to the nave, and above the passages there are continuous galleries. Above the galleries there are the large nave windows.
