In the two-light window on the north side of the chancel, the left light features the Raising of Lazarus story (John 11:1–44).
The text says "Lazarus come forth" (John 11.43) and "Jesus wept" (John 11.35).
The second light illustrates the story of the Raising of the son of the widow of Nain (Luke 7:11–17) This window was dedicated to William Strother by his mother.
The Strothers were major landowners in the village area, living locally at Low Hall, Kennel Hall Farm and Westfield.
The east window was made by Cox & Son.
The design of the central two lights is based on John 20:24–29, the story of Doubting Thomas.
In this image, Thomas (shown kneeling at bottom of second light from left) has finally seen the Resurrection and checked the wounds, and he now believes in it.
The top part of the window consists of three small rose lights, containing symbols.
The left symbol is the Paschal Lamb, a heraldic symbol in which the Lamb of God carries the cross of St. George.
The right-hand rose shows a pelican vulning, a heraldic symbol (a crest in this case) of a self-sacrificing pelican feeding her young with the blood from her breast, symbolising the Passion.
This medieval symbol was superseded by the Lamb and Flag.
The image in the uppermost rose shows the intertwined Alpha and Omega.
Thomas Strother, who paid for this window, dedicated it to his wife or mother, and died while the church was in process of construction.
The two-light window on the north side of the chancel is dedicated to Thomas Strother (1806–1879) by his widow.
The left-hand light represents St Peter, carrying the Keys of Heaven, with his book at his feet, symbolising the Scriptures.
The angel below him carries the words, "Rejoice in the lord alway" (Paul's Epistle to the Philippians 4:4).
The right hand light shows Paul the Apostle carrying a sword symbolising his martyrdom, with the Scriptures in the form of a book at his feet.
The angel below him has the words "The just shall live by faith" (Paul's Epistle to the Romans 1:17).
