"In 1843 the present glass in the east window was installed. It is signed by Thomas Willement, one of the leaders in the revival of stained glass in early Victorian times. It has Old Testament figures and the whole character of the work in terms of drawing and colouration would not be out of place ten or twenty years later. In the main lights are the Old Testament figures Noah, Daniel, Job, Abraham, Moses and Elijah. In the tracery above are the emblems of the Evangelists. The stonework of this window is unusual for being red sandstone from Warwickshire, a material hardly ever used so far east in Leicestershire."
