- Description
- Originally a stained glass window of four lights. Now two windows of two lights, in a rather complicated format, using a mixture of Art Deco and Gothis styles. Left hand window: Left hand light (1939-45) shows Christ crowning a knight who has slain a dragon. Beneath it are the words “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” in Roman capitals. Right hand light (1914-18) (In Gothic style) depicts an angel with red wings welcoming a knight. Beneath it is the text “So they passed over, & all the trumpets / sounded for them on the other side” in black Gothic capitals. Right hand window is more Art Deco style. Left hand light (1939-45) has a panel at the bottom bearing the quotation “Greater love hath no man / than this, that he should lay / down his life for his friends”. Beneath this are the six names from 1939-45. Right hand light (1914-18) “In loving memory of the men of this Church / who laid down their lives in the Great War 1914-1919” in black Roman capitals. Below this is: “They were a wall unto us both by night and day” which is in italics. Below this is a row of four panels bearing the 10 names in Roman capitals on a black background.
