East Window

Made by Waites of Newcastle and fitted in 1850. It was a gift of the Rector's sisters, the Misses Bruxner. The stonework and tracery is an enlarged copy of a window in Stoke Golding church. The five main windows contain the figures of

Abraham
David
John the Baptist
Peter
Paul

And underneath each are scrolls of texts. The upper tracery contains representations of the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus.

The Passion 1860 - 1862

This window replaced one which was installed in 1778/9 when the new south wall was built. In the tracery at the top of the window are representations of the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ.

Adoration of the Magi

Completed in 1882, this window shows a representation of the three Kings paying homage to Jesus. The Bible quotation reads " All Kings shall fall before him all nations shall serve him. Behold I make all things new, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end".

Presentation in the Temple

This depicts Anna on the left side, Simeon with Jesus in the centre and Mary on the right side. The bible quotation reads " Then he took him up into his arms and blessed God and said 'Lord. Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word, for my eyes have seen thy salvation". The tracery reads " He shall be great and shall be called 'The Son of the Highest' ".

The Annunciation

Purchased in 1882. The left hand window shows Mary with the words "Behold the handmaid of the Lord". The centre window shows a dove and white lilies with the words "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel". The right hand window portrays an angel with the words "Behold thy highly favoured of the Lord". Across the bottom of the window is written "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet"

The Light of the World

Purchased in 1862 by Rev. G. Bruxner with £50 that had been presented to him by the people of Thurlaston in appreciation of all his work for the church. On the right hand of Christ are the words " Be zealous therefore and repent, behold I stand at the door and knock" (Rev. 3, v19-20). On the left hand are the words " Then spake Jesus again I am the light of the world" (John 8, v12). The upper tracery contains representations of the Dove, Cherubim, Vine, Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley. At the bottom is the statement "This window was furnished with its present glass by the parishioners of Thurlaston in the summer of 1862 in grateful acknowledgement of the restoration of their church".

West Window

Possibly installed in 1850 when the other windows in the North Aisle were restored. The quotation at the bottom of the window reads: "The promise is made to you and your children, as many as the Lord our God shall call. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death".

The Bell Tower Window

Made by Waites of Newcastle and erected by parishioners in Thurlaston in 1860 as a memorial to Thomas Philip Craven M.A. who served 5 years as Curate of this parish. He died in 1860 in South Africa where he went for health reasons. The central figure is St. Thomas under which is the text "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed". On the right side is the wish of the Greeks "We would see Jesus", and on the left, the reply of St. Philip given to Nathaniel "Come and see". There is a plaque under the bell tower in Thomas Craven's memory.

North Aisle Windows

Restored in 1850. The old stained glass windows, which are decorated with the coats of arms of the Turvilles and Champaines, were replaced with plain glass.
