The inscription

WILLIAM THOMAS SPENCER WENTWORTH FITZWILLIAM Earl FITZWILLIAM

One of the heraldic glass panels in the church. These coats of arms are not memorials to people buried here. They were put in their present positions in 1966, after the south walls were rebuilt, and were moved from the clerestory (the high row of windows).

The Earls Fitzwilliam owned much of Malton. In 1862 Lord Fitzwilliam appointed Henry Jackson (see No. 13) Borough Bailiff of Malton.
