Long Description:The main East window is dedicated to a former Vicar and depicts the
Crucifixion. Also in the Chancel is a small, single light window of
St Nicholas. This was installed after the Hunt family gave it to
the Church for the early education of eight of their sons at
Dunchurch Hall.
In the tower is the West window showing St Anne, The Virgin Mary
and St Elizabeth. It has 'Through the beautiful gate of childhood
we enter into God's spirit' inscripted on it.
The South Aisle has a window depicting St Michael, St Gabriel
and St George in the East wall. This is a memorial to the pupils of
Dunchurch Hall School who fell in the Boer War and the First World
War. The South wall has a window to a former Vicar, the Rev. Frank
Harbord who was killed at Ypres whilst serving as a chaplain in the
Great War. It reads 'Resurrection to the Disciples and Mary
Magdalene'.
In the North Aisle are two windows one of 'War and Peace' and
the other of 'Valour and Victory', these are memorials to the
former pupils of Dunchurch Winton Hall School.
