The windows are shown in order around the church, starting at the east end of the east wall.
The first window contains the inscription "In memory of Hannah, 4th Daughter of John Harrison Esq, who died Feb 12th 1862."
The next is a three light window with Christ in the centre, Mary and Martha each side. "To the glory of God and the honoured memory of her beloved husband Edward Greene MP, this window is dedicated by his widow Caroline D ?NOS68? 1892"
This one looks as if it contains fragments of ancient glass arranged to look like the figure of an angel.
The next, depicting Christ the Good Shepherd, carries the following dedication. "To the glory of God & in memory of Charles William Jones, Curate & Vicar of this parish from 1848 to 1904".
The impressive east window contains images of various saints in the smaller lights at the top; the five large lights in the centre depict St Peter, St Mary, Christ, St John the Baptist & St Paul. The lights at the bottom tell the Christmas story. The inscription is in Latin and carries the date 1887.
We have now arrived at the north wall of the chancel, where this window of Jesus, The Light of the World, is dedicated: "To the glory of God & in memory of Charles William Jones, Curate & Vicar of this parish from 1848 to 1904".
The next window depicts Christ as the harvester of men's souls, carrying a sickle. The inscription reads: "To the glory of God and in the memory of Harry Clemence Bridges seventeen years Warden of this Church, 1913".
The final coloured window carries the inscription: "In memory of Thomas Compton Thornhill who died Dec 31 1877 aged 14 years".
