St. Andrew's has a large number of stained glass windows, the majority being lancet windows.

of Window 1

The chancel features a three-light east window, depicting the Crucifixion and a further three rose windows which were also the work of by Heaton, Butler & Bayne (Window 1). The windows were commissioned by Mr W. Dixon of Gedling Grove, a member of the congregation. The near life-size figure of Christ upon on the Cross occupies the central lancet window, whilst the left window includes the figures of the Virgin Mary, and St. John and the right window depicts St. Peter and St. Andrew. In the apex of the left and right windows are the initials 'A' (alpha) and 'O' (Omega), to represent the beginning and the end. Located directly above the three light window are the three rose windows with plate tracery: a large central window which is flanked by two smaller windows. The central rose window features the Lamb of God, surrounded by the heads of cherubim, whilst the two smaller windows are of a trefoil design and feature emblems of the Crucifixion. In 1879 the windows were described as being of a ‘design of dignified and harmonious character’ and providing ‘a great improvement to the church’.

There are two coloured lancet clerestory windows on the north elevation of the chancel and a further two on the south elevation, depicting the Resurrection (Window 2) and the Ascension of Jesus Christ (Window 3).

On 2 April 1910 a service was held to dedicate the stained-glass window which had been installed on the north end of the Church. It depicts St Matthew holding the Gospel, a Martyr's palm and a scroll inscribed, ‘Lay up your selves treasures in heaven’, and commemorates the late Henry Mellers. The accompanying memorial inscription states:

Ad dei gloriam
et in memoriam
Henry Mellers qui
obit II die mensis
Oct AD MCMIX
Window 14

In 1906, a new stained-glass window was installed in the north aisle of the church for the purpose of commemorating the late Herbert Stephen Irons of 10, Villa Road, Nottingham, who had been organist of St. Andrew's for over 29 years and died in 1905 aged 71. The commemorative window, depicting the figure of St. John the Baptist, was accompanied by a raised bronze tablet, affixed to the chancel wall.

West Elevation

Window 24 South lancet Centre lancet North lancet

The original west elevation of the church includes a large and ornate rose window with plate tracery which is placed at a considerable height. Below the rose window are three stained glass lancet windows (Window 24). The west windows are believed to have been produced in 1871, by the renowned stained glass manufacturers, Heaton, Butler and Bayne, of Garrick Street, London.

The adjoining western baptistery, which was erected in 1884, features buttress walls, a traceried parapet and six stained glass, rather squat lancet windows (Windows 18-23). Four of these lancet windows are situated on the west elevation, which forms the boundary wall onto Mansfield Road, whilst a further two are located on the north and south elevations respectively. These appear to correspond with the windows which were unveiled on Saturday 17 April 1897 by the Bishop of Southwell. The windows were commissioned to commemorate the late vicar of St. Andrew's, the Reverend Frank Woods, and illustrate the parable of the Good Shepherd. The commission, which is estimated to have cost an estimated 260 guineas, was again given to Heaton, Butler and Bayne. It should be noted, however, that Window 22 is by Gibbs & Howard of London and Window 23 is signed 'Andrew Stoddart, Nott'm.'
