 Thrumpton
All Saints
Glass
All the stonework surrounding the windows in the church is
of architecture in the gothic Decorated style. Most of it appears to date
from the 1870 rebuilding of the church. The exception is the western north
window which may contain some original stonework.
 East Window
The east window has three stained glass lights and fits Glynn’s description
of 1866 and therefore it is assumed was retained in the 1870 rebuilding. Godfrey
dates it at 1795. The window was renewed at some point in its history.

Chancel
The
second and third windows in the chancel were new in 1870 and fitted with plain
glass to improve the lighting of the chancel in view of the south facing aspect.
Both have upper lights having stained glass decoration of angels and one having
the addition of a chalice and host, representing the presence of Christ in
the Eucharist.
Nave
Three of the stained glass windows in the nave are dedicated to village residents,
one to Arthur Alvey (1880) and two to the Massey Family (undated). The other
three have biblical inscriptions and are of high standard representing the
life of Jesus from his birth and life through to his death.

Tower
The tower has three narrow lancet windows which are also stained. These windows
indicate just how thick the tower walls are. The stained glass in the tower
windows have a strong attachment to Jesus and the Virgin Mary, the south centre
piece is the Lamb of God supported by the stemmed lilies representing that
given to the Virgin Mary by Gabriel at her submission. The centre piece of
the west lancet is a dove, the symbol of God the Holy Spirit. It is also
supported by lilies. The north lancet is of a diamond pattern leading and less
decorative in design
