Dedicated to:	William Griffin (died 1799) and Mary Griffin (died 1806). More... This window was dedicated to members of the Griffin family who had died around 100 years earlier.
Donated by:	James Griffin of Drayton Lodge. More... 3 of the 7 windows donated by James Griffin were in memory of 6 of his ancestors who died between 1799 and 1869.
Notes on Window:	There is some unusual decorative stonework directly under the window. We can best assume that it was part of a 15th century Reredos above an Altar at the E end of the S Aisle. More... Unusually, in this window the right hand light is narrower than the other two.
