The south wall contains two interesting windows. The left-hand window shows Mary and Joseph presenting Jesus at the temple as a baby, and it quotes the response of the priest Simeon “Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace” (Luke 2:29). Anna is standing behind Simeon. A panel at the bottom tells us that the window was given in memory of George Orme in 1895.
The middle window shows Faith, Hope and Love, quoting the climax of 1 Corinthians chapter 13 "now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity". A panel at the bottom tells us that the window was given in memory of Leila Frances Boden who died on June 15th 1886 aged 29.
Below the middle window is a brass wall-plaque which says

this Brass is erected by his parishioners on his
