Introduction to Stained Glass:

There is only one fragment of Medieval Glass in the church. All 3 Eastern windows were donated by one man in the early 1880s and were made by Heaton Butler and Bayne. The other 12 windows all date from between 1937 and 1959. They all come from the A K Nicholson Stained Glass Studios, with 11 being designed by Gerald Smith, and one by Margaret Pawle. Over a 20 year period, there must have been a strong desire to have stained glass in all the church's windows, with some of them even being fitted during WW2.
