There is a single window by Percy Bacon and Brothers in St John's probably installed in 1916, the subjects being (L-R) Faith, Charity and Hope. The design of the standing figures is almost identical to the window in the south chancel of St Peter's, Tempsford, Beds.

The dedication reads:

In loving memory of Mary Ethel Nance, who died Oct 18^th 1915, wife of the
R^ev. J. T. Nance, H^on. Canon of Peterborough, Rector of East Farndon 1895-1905.

Above Faith and Hope the scrolls read:

Faith: By work was faith made perfect.
Hope: In hope of eternal life.

Beneath Charity, a book in garter reads: "Faith Hope, and charity but the greatest of these is Charity."

The window is signed "Percy Bacon, London".
