The character of St Mary’s is enhanced by its collection of stained glass windows, whose quality has only recently been fully realised following the recent cleaning and conservation. Most are by CE Kempe and his successors in the family firm. They form a fascinating insight into late Victorian/Edwardian tastes in stained glass art in the Tractarian tradition. In the early 21st century, some would consider their style quaint: but they repay attention: and the East and West windows in particular, together with the first set of Nativity windows in the chapel, are very fine indeed. The following paragraphs describe the windows and their subject matter, and it is hoped that visitors will find them helpful in accompanying a walk around the Church. Kempe’s windows often include a kind of “trademark”, a wheatsheaf. His successors adapted this, and used a tower inside a wheatsheaf. These symbols are present in a number of our windows, though like Robert Thompson’s mouse, they are not easy to find!
