The west window in the south chapel contains medieval stained glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1768959 but all other windows are reconstructions > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1768945 of earlier ones and date from between 1866 and 1882. The east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1768909 is by Francis W Oliphant and was installed around 1857 when the chancel was extended and the small square window was replaced by the present one. The baptismal font was made in 1857.
