Glass

All the glass in the clerestory is clear. The rest of the Victorian glass
is by Clayton and Bell, who were Pearson’s favourite glass artists. Pevsner
was not impressed and called the stained glass ‘a complete but uniformly
dull scheme.' However, the east window ‘is considered to be one of the
best of the period’.

North Porch
16. There are eight small lights in the walls of the north porch. Originally the two windows facing east were filled with figures of the four greater Prophets (Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Daniel) and the two windows looking west contained the four Evangelists. Unfortunately these windows were destroyed by vandals.
The four windows now largely consist of clear glass, each light with a red roundel containing a fiery sun. The quatrefoil also incorporates a roundel with a fiery sun surrounded by foliage.
