St John the Baptist, to whom the church is dedicated, features in a number of the main eastern windows. The influence of the painters Jan van Scorel, Maerten van Heemskerk and the brothers Frans and Cornelius Floris can be felt. The main glaziers were Dirck and his younger brother Wouter Crabeth. Most of the windows' cartoons have been kept. The Van der Vorm Kapel 58. The Arrest in Gethsemene 59. The Mocking 60. Ecce Homo 61. Via Crucis 62. The Resurrection 63. The Ascension 64. Pentecost	1.
