Window 3

Also a single lancet light with a trefoil in the head of the arch, in this light there is a leaf design with a red spot in the centre. The light below also has a trefoil head, filled with squared leaded glazing, below, the middle section of the light has lozenge leaded glazing with the lower section reverting to the squared design. The glass in the lower section has a greater amount of the pale and dark green glass than the upper parts of the window.

2.East window

This is a large, imposing, colourful window comprising five lights surmounted by a roundel. The two outer pairs of lights each support a round light and are taller than the centre one. All five lights have trefoil heads. From left to right the lights depict St. Matthew, St. Mark, Christ with two angels above, St. Luke and St. John. In the roundel there are six smaller circular lights each with a figure holding a scroll with the word Hosanna.

The stained glass was installed in two phases.

The centre panel depicting Christ dates from 1893 and commemorates Samuel and Elizabeth Rogers. The inscription at the bottom of the light reads:

IN LOVING MEMORY OF SAMUEL AND ELIZABETH ROGERS
ERECTED BY THEIR AFFECTIONATE CHILDREN A.D. 1893

The four other panels of the window and the tracery originally contained plain glass which were replaced in 1905 by designs showing 'chastely designed figures of the apostles' in memory of a former vicar, the Rev James Given, who had died the previous year. The service of dedication took place on 5 January 1905, conducted by the Bishop of Derby.

Inscribed on the glass at the bottom of the northernmost light is the text 'Nottingham Stained Glass Works'. The company was established c.1900 by stained glass manufacturer, Samuel Musgrave, and based at 83 Wollaton Street, Nottingham. By 1912, however, the premises had been taken over by Butler & Marriott and by 1919 Pope & Parr were based at the address.
