There are many outstanding examples of stained glass work throughout the church. What Holy Trinity lacks in medieval glass, it more than compensates for in a rewarding range of Victorian and 20th Century glass of the highest quality.

These include two ‘arts and crafts’ windows designed by the world-renowned Walter Crane, which are unrivalled in their class.

Like the rest of the Churches of the East Riding, there is scarcely any ancient glass to be found in Holy Trinity. Most of the medieval glass has perished over time. Windows were destroyed during a zeppelin raid in the First World War and remnants were used to create a unique mosaic window in the South Transept. 

There are some very fine 15th and 16th Century roundels in the Vicar’s Vestry which indicates that before the reformation there may have been a substantial quantity of medieval stained glass in the Church. Sadly this vestry is not open to the public without prior arrangement.
