The South aisle East window by Samuel Evans, depicts the Faith, Charity, Giving to the needy and Hope. The inscription reads:- 'ERECTED BY THE PARISHONERS TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF CANON H.R.SMITH'S THIRTY YEARS FAITHFUL MINISTRY IN THIS CHURCH. MAY 1888'. Samuel Evans (died 1915) was a stained glass designer who established his studio in West Smethwick. Samuel Evans worked for Chance Brothers & Co. until about 1865, when the firm closed. After his death his studio continued as Evans & Co., under his son Joseph Evans, producing decorative glass until 1971. Saint Paul's Church, Grange-over-Sands, is located in Crown Hill. It is an active parish church in the deanery of Windermere, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Allithwiate, St Mary and St Michael, Cartmel, St Peter, Field Broughton, St John the Baptist, Flookburgh, Grange Fell Church, Grange-Over-Sands, and St Paul, Lindale, to form the benefice of Cartmel Peninsula. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. In 1851 an appeal was opened by Sarah Anne Clarke from Liverpool to build a church in the town. This resulted in a church designed by J. Murray being built in 1852–53. This consisted of a nave, a short chancel, a porch, and a baptistry. The foundation stone was laid by the Earl of Burlington in October 1852, and the church was consecrated on 13 October 1853 by Rt Revd John Graham, Bishop of Chester. It was expanded by T. D. Barry of Liverpool by the addition of a north aisle in 1861, and a south aisle in 1867. The north aisle cost £662, and the south aisle £1, 180. In 1875 the chancel was lengthened, and an organ chamber was added. At this stage, the church was re-consecrated on 6 June 1876 by the Rt Revd Harvey Goodwin, Bishop of Carlisle. It became a parish church in its own right on 14 April 1884.
