Despite appearances, this is not a stained glass window. It is a painting on glass.

From Derbyshire UK:

St Gile’s church lies in the grounds of Calke Abbey. The earliest reference to a church on this site is in 1129 when it was seized from Calke Priory by the Abbot of Chester.

It was rebuilt in 1826 with a narrow tower and embattled nave.
