Two stained glass windows commemorate Archdeacon Charles Morse who was the vicar of the Parish for 33 years.

The left window is "Christ the Shepherd" and the right window "Christ knocking the Door", which was inspired by Holman Hunt's painting.

Archdeacon Morse was ordained to the priesthood in 1869 and licensed to the district of Yankalilla. He was rector of the parish for 33 years and was Archdeacon of Adelaide in 1887. He died in 1901.
