St Mary, Credenhill - Morris & Co window:
In the North wall of the nave is this fine late Morris & Co window by John Henry Dearle, a memorial to William Farrer Ecroyd of neighbouring Credenhil Court. His life (1827-1915) spanned the entire Victorian era. He is listed in the 1913 Kelly's as Lord of the Manor and principal landowner. He funded the restoration of the church in 1876 and gave land to extend the churchyard. At the same time he 'removed the rectory to a more healthy and picturesque site'. The window incorporates some 14th century heraldic fragments.
