The chancel windows

All the chancel glazing was done in 1859 and 1860 and is mentioned in the churchwardens' book of that time. The East window was paid for by the parishioners in memory of their vicar for 50 years, the Rev. Upjohn and is by William Warrington. It shows the parable of the sower on the left and right lights, with the signs of the 4 evangelists above and below, and the crucifixion in the centre with a pelican above and an Agnus Dei below.

The East window in the neighbouring parish of Gunthorpe is also by Warrington, given in commemoration Canon John Sparle’s son who died at Balaclava in 1854.

On the North and South side there are fine windows of the parable of the Good Samaritan and of The Presentation of Christ in the Temple.

South Aisle

The tracery lights in the nave have much of their original medieval glazing of the period 1460 - 1480, which has been carefully assembled and restored, without any restoration work being done or any missing parts of the windows supplied.

The SE window

The saints are all female in this window. Namely

?, Mary Magdalene, St Barbara (with a tower and palm), ?, St Catherine (with a wheel), St Agnes (with a lamb) and St Cecilia (with a palm and tambourine).

St Andrew, St Thomas, ?, ?, St Jude, St Philip, St Bartholomew, and St Paul.

The SW window
