This simple three light window with minor tracery was installed in c1921. It represents the standing figures of Mary Cleopas, the Blessed Virgin holding the infant Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Above the BVM a scroll reads, "My Spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour" (Luke 1:47). At the base of the window, in lieu of a dedication;

"There stood by the Cross of Jesus His mother and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene." (John 19:25).

Below the widow a brass dedication plaque reads:

"The above window is erected to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Elizabeth Mary Christiana Britton daughter of Simon Cage Britton, M. D., M.R.C.S,. R.N., of Kings Close, Barnstaple, who died October 23rd 1921 aged 93 years. Interred in the Family Vault at Ilfracombe."

The window is unsigned.
