The windows are all Victorian as the Church was restored in 1868-9. It is unusual to find every window containing stained glass. The actual Church dates from the 12th century in the nave.
South Aisle: The Birth of Christ is depicted nearest to the main door.
Then a four light window is tucked behind the organ also depicting the Nativity.
Chancel: The central East window shows the story of Christ in a different style. It is dedicated to a previous Rector.
North Aisle: The first window continuing anti-clockwise round the Church is one of St Rabboni and St Maria. There are three more windows depicting some more Saints in the North wall.
West Tower: Beyond the bell ropes is a window in rich tones, high up.
West Wall: A single light window depicts St Etheldreda in the far south west corner.
South Wall: Finally in the south wall is another richly coloured scene.
