On the wall close to the Vestry door is a brass having the following inscription:—

""The three easternmost windows of this apse have been filled with stained glass to the glory of Almighty God, and in memory of Adelaide, Queen Dowager, widow of his Majesty, King William IV. The centre window was the gift of the Right Honourable E Ellice, M.P., as a memorial of his long connection with the City of Coventry as one of its representatives in Parliament.""

The cost of 2, 3, and 4, was raised by public subscription, and were erected in 1853. Messrs. O’Conner were the artistes.

The Right Honourable Edward Ellice represented the City of Coventry, in twelve Parliaments, from the year 1818 to the date of his death, September 17, 1863. In 1826 he was defeated by the Conservatives. Under Lord Grey's administration, 1833, he was made Secretary at War. A life-size portrait of him is to be seen at the School of Art.
