Stained glass windows in St Wilfrid's church, North Muskham.

"There are several stained glass windows, very little of which is of late medieval date. Two north aisle windows and the south aisle east window contain 15th century glass incorporating the Barton rebus. A rebus is a heraldic device hinting at the name of the bearer, in this case representations of a barrel or 'tun', part of the rebus based on the Barton (Bear - tun) family name, the badge of the family who were the benefactors to the church before the Reformation, and resided at Holme.
