There are several stained glass windows in this beautiful church, including a lepers window. Most of the stained glass is modern and was installed after the restoration that took place in 1869.
Either side of the chancel there are two Lepers Windows. During the middle ages when lepers were not allowed in the church, they would have been able to watch the mass from these small openings. They were later glazed.
