Dating from the 19th century are the pews, a dado rail, and a piscina.
Inside the church a dado rail separates pine wainscotting below from the plastered walls above.
Traditionally, the height of the dado rail is around 36 or 900 mm, which was a suitable height to protect the wall from the backs of chairs.
Dado rails are also sometimes applied to a wall without the full dado treatment.
The house's formal living room and dining room contain wide wooden dado rails.
