The main glass in the east window shows the Adoration of the Shepherds. It was made for a taller window, and does not fit well as framed by the 5th Earl. It is in the style of Joshua Price (d. c. 1722), who made other similar windows. The Earl presumably found it in an early eighteenth century house. The window was 'restored' in memory of H. O. Coxe (d. 1881), and the figures near the Christ Child were touched up at this time.
The first (L.Hand) window on the south side of the chancel contains small roundels and squares of foreign glass, mainly sixteenth century, perhaps from the collection of Alderman Fletcher of Oxford (d. 1826). The Earl gave Fletcher a stone coffin from Godstow; the glass may have been a recompense. (See Picture 3). The crowns at the top of this and the next window, and the two diamond panes in the second window containing a portrait of Edward VI and his coat of arms, were put into the manor house (Wytham Abbey) by Lord Williams of Thame during Edward VI's reign.
