The most noteworthy feature of the church, however, is the magnificent east window > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1703014 which was donated to the church by Lady Anne Herling and her second husband, Sir Robert Wingfield, in around 1460. Removed for safety in Cromwell's time, the glass of this notable window was hidden in the attic of the since demolished East Harling Hall. When the manor was sold to Thomas Wright in 1736 he restored the glass to the church. It was removed once again during WWII and replaced and re-leaded in 1947.
