The sanctuary window was made by J Wippel & Co of Exeter and installed in 1964 in memory of the women of Knox. The central figure is Christ in Glory surrounded by the winged symbols (man, lion, ox & eagle) of the 4 evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. Kneeling are Peter (crossed keys) and Paul (sword). The dove above Christ's head represents the Holy Spirit. The emerald rainbow and Greek letters alpha & omega, at the top of the window, come from the Book of Revelation.


The Stuart memorial at the rear of the church was made by R H Fraser of Dunedin in 1896. The top depicts the transfigured Christ, the blessing of the children and Christ's agony in Gethsemane. Further down are the evangelists above their winged symbols. The main figures are John Knox, the 16th century Scottish reformer for whom Knox Church is named, St. Andrew (Patron Saint of Scotland) St. Margaret (11th Century Queen of Scotland) and Dr. Donald Stuart, the first minister of Knox Church 1860 - 1894.
