The south porch has two small two-light windows, which have been filled with modern stained glass The coloured glass has been resin bonded onto panes cut to fit the light. One window depicts St Lawrence martyred in Rome in 258 AD and his grid iron. [see e.g. Penguin Dictionary of Saints (1965), 214]
