The window, believed to be by Charles Eamer Kempe, was donated by the King family in 1875.
At the top of the window are the saints St Augustine of Hippo, St Gregory the Great, St Jerome, St Ambrose, St James, and St Dorothy. The left panel has an angel holding the sun, below that the Virgin Mary, and below her are angels singing the praises of God. The centre panel has Christ on the cross. The right panel has an angel holding the moon, below that St John and below him angels singing the praises of God.
The church is fairly unique in having an information board that provides an explanation of the religious significance of the window.
