The East Window - re-glazed in 1923.  To the left and right of the Crucifixion are the Virgin Mary and St John the Apostle, with their emblems of the lily and the eagle.  In the outer lights are St George and St Elizabeth of Hungary.  The tracery above shows the Expulsion from the Garden, the annunciation of the Blessed Virgin and (below these) the Sacrifice of Isaac.

Sadly, I omitted to note where the rest of the windows were in the church, however hopefully a parishioner will contact me to let me know?
