How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Inscription beneath the fourth light of a four-light, stained glass window with figure in each light. Figures of the Archangels St Michael, St Raphael, St Oriel, and St Gabriel are depicted in the lights. The light to the left is another family commemoration and the top and bottom lines of the inscription carry across to this dedication. The subject is also commemorated in his father's Parish at Audlem: on a tablet of similar materials on the other side of the doorway to this (WMR 101798), on two memorials to all the fallen of the village (WMR 57115 and 87759), and on the family grave in the Cemetery (WMR 101800).
In the 1920s the 34 windows around the Cathedral Cloisters were glazed in stained glass with images depicting the Church’s Calendar. Of the 130 lights about a quarter are WW1 Memorials. There is a WW1 commemoration in the fourth light (WMR 18323).
