There is only one stained glass window in the chancel on the north side. This was erected in 1921 and commemorates the Revd CR Job. It represents St John the Evangelist (1921) with the inscription 'To the Glory of God and in the Memory of Charles Robert Job, Priest Vicar of this Parish AD 1893-1914 Erected by Parishioners and Friends'. The chancel is an elevated section, three steps up from the nave. It is separated from the nave by steps, a rail and the arch which has written on it: 'O COME, LET US WORSHIP AND FALL DOWN AND KNEEL BEFORE THE LORD OUR MAKER'. The chancel roof beams, in the shape of an A and O (shown below), remind us that God is beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. On the arch corbels in the chancel are the heads of the Virgin Mary on the north side and St James on the south side. They, and more, can be seen on the page Stonework and Tilework in the Chancel.
