There are some impressive windows inside this old church.
1. South Aisle Window - St Leonard of Limoges - Patron Saint of Prisoners.
'To the Glory of God in loving memory of Gerard Charles Brassey 2nd, Lieut. Coldstream Guards killed in action 27th August 1918. Laid to rest in Mory Street Cemetery near St Leger. Aged 19.'
2. South Aisle Window - St Leonard the English Nobleman - also Patron Saint of Prisoners.
3. South Aisle East Window - Story of Christ
This unusual window depicts the life of Christ through the colourful glass. It dates back to 1621 and is one of the few surviving windows of this time in the country.
4. East Window - The Last Supper
Another unusual window designed by John Rowell for whom there is an information piece below the window. It is dated 1732 and is one of a few made in this period as there was not much demand. The fixing of the colour had not been mastered so many of these windows have faded.
