The Victorian stained glass window depicts the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its purely biblical nature and lack of reference to the St. John family, marks a decline in their influence.

The window was made by Alexander Gibbs & Co and is dedicated to the memory of John King by his sisters, Ann and Mary King in 1858. The Kings were a prominent family in Lydiard Tregoze and their chest tombs can be found in the graveyard.
