St Stephen & St Margaret are depicted in this window which was given in memory of Sir Thomas Erskine May, Clerk to the House of Commons, who died in 1886. (West end of south wall)

This, the nicest window in my opinion, is in the centre of the south wall, and depicts St Catherine, St Nicholas and St Ursula.  It is in memory of Lewis Kent and was erected in 1876.  The Kents have farmed in the area since the 1840s.

The east window was erected in 1885 in memory of Joseph Sidney Tharp who died in 1875 and his wife Laura who died in 1877.  It depicts the Crucifixion and the Last Supper.

These final two are from the chapel south of the chancel and are in memory of various members of the Tharp family, whose family vault is in a crypt below this chapel.

I seem to remember there being another hidden behind the organ (I may be mistaken), but I was unable to take a picture.
