Stained Glass Windows

The stained glass windows of our church are of special interest. In chronological order they are:

The  East window coat of Arms of Sir Richard de Flitwick

1848 On the north side of the chance! is the first stained glass window to be installed in our church. The design is of the Virgin Mary with the Holy Child in her arms. It was designed by Powell and is in memory of the young wife and daughter of John Thomas Brooks of Flitwick Manor.

1879 This two-light window in the south wall of the sanctuary represents the two apostles, St Peter and St Paul, to whom our church is dedicated. It is in memory of Mary Brooks of Flitwick Manor. Notice the wild flowers shown in the lower sections of the window - some of these still bloom in our churchyard. The unusual shields depicted were so shaped to accommodate the lances when charging.

1886 This small two-light window at the west end of the south aisle represents two female figures depicting Charity and Faith. The window is the work of Pitman & Son.

1897 The three-light window in the south aisle is the only window in the church by Franz Mayer of Munich. It shows Our Lord sending out the Apostles to teach and Baptise all nations, and is in memory of the Reverend Francis Asphitel, a former vicar of the parish.
