St. John's Episcopal Church, Stamford, has a treasury of great stained glass.

Many of the windows are British, in the late Victorian style of Gothic revival, made by the leading stained glass factories of the period: James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars), Charles Eamer Kempe and C. E. Kempe & Co., John Hardman & Co. of Birmingham, and Clayton & Bell of London. There are also windows by the contemporary British company of J. Wippell & Co., Exeter.

The American-made windows include two by Louis Comfort Tiffany's Studios of New York, two designed by the architect Henry Edwards-Ficken and made in the New York glass studio of Charles Maginn, and an 1891 rose window by the Boston firm of Ford and Brooks.
