Introduction to Stained Glass: | The church has about 8 windows with glass dating from around its 1888 restoration, with just one stained glass one, the East Window by Ward & Hughes. The other 7 have interesting alternating panels of rectangular and diamond quarries, some plain and some tinted glass. 5 of them have decorative leadwork in their heads. There are another 3 undated stained glass windows, one of which is by A L Moore. |
