The stained glass windows: The seven stained glass windows in the chancel and tower are one of the chief glories of the church. They were made by William Morris & Co from the designs of Sir Edward Burner-Jones and are generally recognised to be some of their finest work. The three light east window in the chancel, was erected in 1893, to commemorate the marriage of Burne Jones's daughter, Margaret. The Burne-Jones' lived across the green from the church and were frequent visitors to the church. The window represents the three archangels, Gabriel, Michael and Raphael. Underneath are panels representing the Annunciation; Michael slaying the dragon and Raphael the guardian of little children. Prior to the "restoration" by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1856 the east window had been a double light affair as the illustration of 1800 shows.
EB-J letter to Frances Horner (Frances Graham) [Rottingdean Window] ... Did I tell you my window is set up here that records Margaret's marriage and everybody in the village says it is better than expected? But what on earth did they expect? It looks nice and is very deep in colour, and makes the long church look even a little longer. Michael is in it, and Gabriel and Raphael. Nobody knows who Raphael is, but the Colonel at the top of the village has a Cassell's penny Alphabetical Instructor - and there he has found that he was a famous painter, and now everybody in the village knows all about it.
