As with all the windows in this church, the glass dates from the early 16th century.
Lights one and two show the miraculous draught of fishes after the Resurrection. The boat is soon with the Apostles hauling in a net full of large fishes. Jesus stands on the edge of the sea and in the foreground two fishes are seen cooking over an open fire.
The third light shows the ascension. The tall rock with a green top represents the Mount of Olives. At the top Jesus's feet are seen as he ascends into heaven. Below the Apostles and Virgin are shown gazing up into heaven. There is a Blue Lake in the background with boats and swans.
The right hand light depicts the Pentecost, where the Blessed Virgin is seated with St John and St Peter. The other apostles are grouped before her with raised hands, as the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove surrounded by rays of light appears from above.
The tracery shows two figures at either end, a man gesticulating wearing a belt with a purse, and a figure wearing an ermine tippet and belt with a bag attached. The other lights have four angels of the passion, the first is holding three nails, the second is holding the dice, the third is holding a shield with three dice, and the last one has a pillar and cord.

Mounted on a large slab now vertical behind the organ is a brass to Thomas Horton d.1530 and his wife Mary d.1545. They appear to have had no children.
Horton was a wealthy clothier in Bradford.
The dates were never inscribed, so it was probably made in their lifetimes.
There is also Merchants mark, and image of God the father and his son on the cross as well as inlays "Lady Helpe" and "Jesus Mercy".
The speech scrolls state "Sancta Trinitas unas Deus, Miserere Nobis",
These are not shown in this photograph.text/html2024-03-24T14:42:02+00:00https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/25219?a=J+HannanJ Hannan51.346725 -2.253945ST8260 : Memorial Brass, Holy Trinity church, Bradford-on-Avon
