Farrer: "This church contained a very great deal of heraldic glass, in fact " all the matches of the Shelton family." There is not much left now. The arms of Shelton and Boleyn are introduced amidst the tracery and framework of the east window, as also on the dresses of the figures, and above the heads of the founders of the church, Sir John Shelton and his wife.

Between the clerestory windows there are twenty shields, twelve of which bear the arms of Shelton, and eight the family rebus, "an escallop shell and a tun."
