Long Description:The main window in the east is 'In Memory of Richard Verity 1857'.
He lived at Dean House, built the old almshouses in Church Lane
(now Elm Cottage) and owned much of Dean.
The second window is a mixture of stained and plain glass and
states 'This window was restored to the glory of God and in loving
memory of Thomas Patrick Hayes 1897 to 1962'.
In the South Chapel the windows contain Perpendicular tracery,
with some fragments of mediaeval glass, showing grapes of different
hues.
One window in the south west corner has a mediaeval glass figure
labelled "Johnes Lysset".
