The Millennium window is situated in the west wall, and was installed in 2000.

It depicts the village’s famous maypole celebrations using Christian symbols.

Chancel

The east window of the chancel shows Jesus on the cross. There is no dedication on the glass itself but according to some sources it was donated in the memory of William S. Ward, surgeon, who lived at Wellow Hall.

The chancel has three single windows in the north wall, with no stained glass.

The vestry has two small rectangular windows in the south.
