About half the glass of 15 stained windows is old; they are of 15th and early 16th cent, date, and are known as the St. Neot's window, St. George's, the Young Women's, the Wives', the Harris, the Callawaye, the Tubbe, the Chancel (the Lord's Supper), the Creation, the Noah, the Borlase, the Motton, the Redemption, the Acts, and the Armorial. There is a slate tomb to William Bere, 1610, displaying kneeling effigies of husband, wife, and two daughters. (Registers, 1549 ; Churchwardens' Accounts, 1601.)
