North Wall
Hatchment between door and window, above the Baptism Roll –
The shield has eight quarterings, the first of which appears to be that of Wase – the others are not known to me. Other details are difficult to make out with certainty due to the discolouration which has occurred over time. The supporters may be cranes or storks. The crest is difficult to discern but is topped with a quadruped, perhaps a hind. The motto possibly reads “VIRTVS FORET VBIQVE” – Virtus Foret Ubique, Latin for “Virtue would be everywhere” if Google Translate is accurate (perhaps “May virtue be everywhere”).
Stained glass windows (not photographed – no dedication, or if there is, I missed it)
