North and east windows with stained glass of 1881, others with tinted Murano glass.
Some features from the trefoil and quatrefoils in the east window show the lamb depicting Christ in his sacrificial role, the dove depicting the Holy Spirit and the pelican again depicting Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
"The parish of Seagrave which has lived in relative seclusion over the centuries has a church with a history, like that of the village, which can be traced back to Saxon times. It is dedicated to All Saints, which tends to be a 13th century dedication, but parts of the fabric pre-date this by some two hundred years. It is highly probable that the church occupies the site of the Saxon church which served the existing village."
