2South Chancel window

Window of three cinquefoil lights with 14th century stonework.

The left-hand light depicts the Resurrection. Below is a supplicant before a ruler (possibly Joseph of Arimathea requesting the body of Jesus ?)

The centre light shows the Ascension. Below is the angel speaking to the women at the empty tomb.

The right-hand light shows the descent from the cross. Below is the risen Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene.

Across all three lights is the inscription in black Gothic on white ground:

11Window of three cinquefoil lights with 19th century stonework and clear glass

12Single lancet window of glass, predominantly yellow stain, and mixed design. The date of the glass is uncertain, but some may be medieval, possibly supplemented with glass from broken windows. The symbols in the roundels suggest dates of the 14th or 15th century, though of course such may have been copied by later craftsmen.

Clerestory

The clerestory windows are each made up of three cinquefoil lights and are glazed with plain glass and have 15th Century tracery.
