The Church Windows

A fragment at the top centre of the eastern-most window in the north wall of the north aisle is thought to be mediaeval.   Otherwise, the stained glass windows are mainly by Dudley Forsyth and James Powell & Sons in the 19th and early 20th centuries.


Starting in the Fynderne Chapel behind the organ and walking in a clockwise direction around the church:

1.	South transept, north wall
	A three-light plain glass window, largely hidden by the organ.
2.	South transept
	This elaborate flat-headed window has been heavily restored, but is of a 14th century design.   The glass was given in memory of the Rev'd A.A. (Paddy) McMaster, Vicar of Repton, 1898-1911.   Most is believed to be by A. Ballantine and Sons of Edinburgh and dates from 1913, but the two panels asterisked below are by Dudley Forsyth.   They were donated in 1916 by Mr. Henry (Harry) Vassall, a master at Repton School, who also gave the lancet in the south-west corner, window 7.

4.	South aisle
	A four-light plain glass window, much larger than any other but the east window.

	Originally a three-light plain glass window, now partly blocked.
7.	South aisle, west wall

William Johnson M.A., a Master at Repton School, a wise counsellor and a generous helper in the work of the Parish for 42 years, who died Jan. 7th, 1897."

	Above it is a fragment of late 14th or early 15th century glass representing one of the Mercian Kings.   This is allegedly the only stained class to survive the alterations of 1792.
14.	North wall
	Three-light window by Powell.
	1895.   "In thanksgiving for their marriage and in memory of two beloved parents" by S.B.S. Penoyre, Priest, and Alice, his wife. Rev'd S.B. Stallard-Penoyre of Westbury-on-Trim was the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Auden of Danesgate, Repton.
		"We know that his testimony is true"    "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it"
			St John the Evangelist Our Lord holding a chalice: below, the miracle at Cana The Blessed Virgin Mary
15.	Choir and chancel
	Two 13th century lancets, one on the north-east angle of the choir and one in the chancel, were later blocked, to be opened again in 1885 and 1913 respectively.   They are glazed with 16th century crown glass from Breadsall Church, perhaps following the latter's destruction by fire in 1914.
	In the south wall of the chancel, a blocked 16th century window was exposed in 1939 together with vestiges of a 13th century lancet.   This was restored to match its companion on the north wall.
	In the south-east angle of the choir, a 13th century lancet, similar to that in the north-east angle, was later blocked, and, following the enlargement of the Fynderne chapel in the 14th century, now has no outside wall.
	The east window dates from the 14th century, although a puzzling entry in the Parish Magazine of January 1911 recounts that: "Just lately the Eastern wall of the chancel has been attended to and a new East window inserted."
16.	Vestry windows
	The vestry windows are of plain, leaded glass, contemporary with the vestry (1939 - 40).
