By Kempe & Co. c1912.
To the loved memory of her son John Noel Sinclair Blacklock, Lieutenant 8th Hussars, who after a short but beautiful life of 25 years was suddenly called to leave her for a while on May 2nd 1912, his sorrowing mother dedicates this window.
Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907) was a painter of walls, ceilings and woodwork of churches in the 1860s. The style then in vogue reflected a resurgence of interest to high church practices. Kempe's training served him well, and he started his own stained glass company, CE Kempe and Co in London, in 1868. He was not a trained artist, but was nevertheless artistic, and able to suggest ideas which could be developed by his artists and cartoonists. He insisted that only the firm's name should take the credit for the standard of work produced, and that individual members of the studio remain anonymous.
Kempe perfected the use of silver stain on clear glass, which leaves a yellow tint, which could be delicate or deep depending on the amount of stain. His greatest stylistic influence was the stained glass of Northern Germany and Flanders from the 16th Century. He took many trips to Europe, often taking the Kempe Company artists with him. The insignia of Kempe, from about 1895 until his death in 1907 was a wheatsheaf, from his family's coat of arms. After his death, the firm was run by four of his directors, including his cousin, Walter Tower. The insignia then changed to a wheatsheaf with a black tower.

Framed in closed studding with middle rail, and moulded bressumer over ground floor, and 2 intermediate rails in the upper section, with some cusped quatrefoil panelling in the 2 left-hand bays. None of the rails is continuous across the facade, possibly 2 phases of construction, perhaps left hand bays a later addition.

Lower 2-storey addition to the left, and long wing to the right, largely brick but incorporating some timber-framed construction. INTERIOR: early C17 staircase with splat balusters and moulded rail.
