Laxton St MichaelGlass
All the stained glass was removed at the time of the Victorian restoration.
Thoroton noted:
in the South West Window of the Church, Gules a Lion Rampant Arg.with a File of three Labels, it should have been Varry (or Cheqi) for Everingham, but the colours are decayed, as they are in Az. On a Bend. Arg. Between 2. Cotises and 6. Lioncels Ramp. Or 3 Mullets Sab. Boun earl of Northampton.
Cox (1700) recorded that:
in the windows the arms of the Everinghams, Boun Earl of Northampton, Grey of Codnor, Longvillers, Ros, Hastings Earl of Pembroke, and Daivile, with some others not discernible.
Today the glass throughout the church is plain.
