The west window would have been installed during the first phase of construction of the church when funds only extended to building the nave. The window is a Te Deum. As with the later east window this window is crammed with interest. Many saints and prophets are represented as follows:

Far left: St Francis, Jonathan, St Birnius, Moses & Barnabas.

Middle left: Female saints: Cecilia, Anna Prophetess, Frideswide, Ruth and Dorothea.

Centre: Christ the King: "I am the vine and Ye are the branches".

Middle right: Ss Dorcas, Ann, Martha, Mary Magdalene, Blessed Virgin Mary.

Far right: Ss Andrew, Peter, Luke, John Bp, Paul

The inscription reads:

"To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Martha Turner who entered into her rest on September 20th 1924, this window was erected by her sister Matilda Turner".

The window is unsigned.
