Memorial Details
What type of memorial is it?
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
A single light stained glass window with semi-circular arch head. Main scene towards the head depicts a white robed saintly figure, possibly St Michael but bearing a flag of St George, standing in a red lined niche with elaborately drawn tracery and finials. A red and green wreath towards the foot has a scroll bearing the names partially unfurled across it. A narrow scroll forms a border around the head and contains an inscription and a further inscription forms a plain frieze across the foot. The sides are bordered by small repeated panels of foliage within strips of red green, blue and grey.
