3 stained glass windows in St Nicholas' church, Islip, Northamptonshire.
"Unfortunately, during restorations in 1854, much of the stained glass from the windows was lost, some was medieval. A parish magazine of 1906 records a description of these windows and there were 14 coats of arms in the windows mainly belonging to the Lords of the Manor at Drayton. Other windows depicted Apostles and the Virgin Mary."
There are still some fragments of old glass in one of the windows. The modern glass in the east window is excellent.
