| The Barker window. It portrays, presumably, Jesus holding an infant in his arms and surrounded by other figures. The inscription reads: ' To the Glory of God and in memory of Ancestors buried in this Church this window is given by John Barker AD 1895' Below in the floor are two memorial stones: The memorial stone in the floor reads: 'ANN BARKER DAVGHTER TO ADAM ANN ELLEN BARKER DEPARTED THIS LIFE JANUARY THE 17 1692.' (All the 'N's are reversed.) To protect the wool trade, at that time is was the law that bodies had to be buried in wool. Ann was buried in linen.

Half of the fine went to the poor of the parish and the other half to Ralph Elliott who informed on Adam. and The memorial stone in the floor reads: 'Here lyes interd the body of Adam Barker who departed this life at Park Hall August the 27 as also the body of Sarah his daughter, who likewise departed this life June the 24.
