Clayton and Bell, can be found at St Michael’s church Warmington, Warwickshire. The four scenes show the descent from the cross; the Resurrection; the Ascension; and the Descent of the holy spirit. In the tracery St Michael is shown defeating the dragon. The church contains two other Clayton and Bell stained glass windows, one depicting the Nativity and Supper at Emmaus in separate lights. The other window of two lights depicts the Presentation of Jesus in the temple, and Mary of Magdalene recognising the Ressurected Jesus.
The other stained glass window is probably by Frank Holt of Warwick, the partner of William Holland.
Two memorials to the children of Rev William Harrison. The first commemorates four sons, the second two children who died within 11 days of scarlet fever.

St Luke’s church at Cold Higham is a C13 building with a Norman saddleback roof tower. Currently on the “Heritage At Risk Register” which states that “structural movement to the east end has occurred leaving the masonry vulnerable to water ingress and there is erosion of all ironstone; this is a particular concern at high level on the tower.” On the outside wall on the south side of of the chancel is a C14 tomb recess.
The church yard contains a number of C17 and C18 grave stones.
The three light curvilinear east window dates from the early C14, and the south wall has a leper squint into the south chapel, which is now blocked by the tomb monument to Sir John de Patteshall (d1349). See also Radstone. The nave is of 4 bays.
The tomb consists of an effigy of a cross legged knight made from oak, with the knights feet resting on a lion.
There are two windows containing victorian stained glass a 1-light window of Matha and Mary with Jesus, and a 2-light window depicing Mattew and Mark.
