"The chancel windows contain stained glass commemorating members of the Freer family.

In 1907 two small 14th-century windows were uncovered above the chancel arch.

Several stained glass windows were inserted in the church between 1897 and 1905. The war memorial altar in the north aisle was the gift of Myron Herrick (ambassador of the U.S.A. in Paris, 1914). Near it is a stained glass window to the memory of a descendant of the Heyrick family who died in Minneapolis, U.S.A."
