clock in N aisle by John Watts of Sleaford, dated 1688.

A medieval style panel showing the ten commandments, ostensibly on the two tablets that Moses brought down from the mountain.  Although painted panels are common medieval artifacts, the "realistic" style of the patriarch's clothing suggests to me this is a Victorian artifact.

C19 stained glass overall (E and W windows by Wailes c1860), except for medieval fragments in NE window.
