There are six stained glass windows in the north wall and six in the south wall. Each window depicts an apostle.
Most of the stained glass in the central opening of the west window has been replaced with clear glass at some point. According to an account of the consecration of the church in 1850 the window showed Christ 'in a standing position, beneath the figure is a representation of the baptism of Christ'. The light to the north shows the prophet Elias with a scroll across his shoulder and the light to the south shows St John the Baptist. The circular window above also contains stained glass.
All the stained glass in the church is in poor condition.
