Situated in the north wall of the nave, all the windows in the church were executed at the expense of Robert Henley, third and last Baron Ongley, and late owner of the estate, who died in 1877, and whose munificence has been recorded on a mural tablet of brass.
The Ongleys owned the estate, Old Warden Park, and have a mausoleum where their remains are interred in the churchyard. There is also a statue of Sir Samuel Ongley in the church.
There are some other spectacular windows in this church detailed below:
The Ascension Window, East Wall - St Leonard's Church
This next window depicts The Ascension and was placed in memory of Joseph Shuttleworth by his widow Caroline in 1883. A lot of the church's items were gifts from the Shuttleworths and their predecessors the Ongleys as they resided in Old Warden Park.
St Michael and St George Window, North Wall, St Leonard's Church
This window depicts the figures of St Michael and St George, the heavenly and the earthly soldier Saints. It was placed by the brother of Frank Shuttleworth in his memory; he died in 1913.
Shuttleworth's Marriage, West Window - St Leonard's Church
This window celebrates the marriage of Frank Shuttleworth to Dorothy Lang in 1902. Dorothy was the daughter of the Revd Robert Lang, the Vicar from 1892 to 1902 - he was the fastest bowler in the country and played cricket for Harrow, Cambridge and the Gentlemen of England. The Shuttleworths bought old Warden Park from the Ongleys and built a grand mansion in the village.
