One of the most striking and historic features of Calvary Episcopal Church are its beautiful stained glass windows. The six lancet windows in the chancel (behind the altar) and the tri-window at the west gable were installed when the church was first built in 1864.

Since the church was built, various stained glass windows have been added to the church.

The first to be installed after the church was built was the window depicting the Crown and Cross on the south side of the nave behind the choir. It is in memory of Eliza Vaux, the wife of Chaplain William Vaux, who died on February 28, 1865 at the age of 70.

The next window on the south side depicts a young Christ teaching in the temple, and was installed by a Mrs. Harrington as a memorial to her daughter, Irene Wilcox Ellis.

The other two windows on the south side of the nave are memorials to a husband and wife. One depicts the Good Shepherd and is in memory of Clarence Eugene Fagen.

The other depicts St. Cecilia, and is dedicated to Clarence's wife, Alice Stafford Fagen, who died in August 1904. The image is drawn from a painting by Gustav Naujok, circa 1891.

There are two windows on the north side of the nave. Another depiction of St. Cecilia, the Patroness Saint of music, was dedicated to Marion Armstrong Meyrick who died in September 1887 at the age of 20 and is based on a painting by Carlo Dolci from 1691.

The window over the the west door was installed in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Rectorship of the Reverend Norman H. Snow, and was dedicated on St. Peter's Day, June 29, 1952.
