Its lancet windows, with foliated tracery, contain three stained glass windows – “Christ the Good Shepherd”, from the workshop of G Maile & Son of London, was installed in 1940, but the other two, depicting fishing and harvest scenes and memorialising Cpt Iain Ramsay of Kildalton are evidently relocated from elsewhere (possibly the now closed church at Ardbeg) and are by an unknown artist. Their style is very reminiscent of the studio of Margaret Chilton and Marjorie Kemp.
