Three number 3 Light Stained Glass Windows REPRESENTING WAR, VICTORY AND PEACE SHOWING KNIGHTS IN ARMOUR GOING TO WAR/ HAVING WOUNDS TENDED/ AND STANDING WITH CHRIST.
This is the official description-
The War Window-This illustrates three phases in the career of the good soldier; the left panel, the going into the light valorously, full of courage and high endeavour: the right panel, the suffering consequent on War, also the sympathy of comrades; the centre panel, the reward, our Lord's acceptance of the life given, and the reception into Paradise. In the hands of the figures above are palms of victory; underneath are the words "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
The Victory Window-This illustrates the triumph of good over evil. The figure of St Michael conquering Satan, is supported by figures of angels with symbols of omnipotence, the cross and sceptre. On either side are angels heralding the victory and otherwise animated with joy and thanksgiving. The words beneath: "They loved not their lives unto the death" remind us of the price paid by many for victory.
The Peace Window-In the centre light is the figure of Christ which needs no comment. On the left are soldiers returned from war offering thanks to Him who giveth the victory, and on the right are various symbolical figures; a mother and child meaning "Regeneration"; a figure with open book, "Education"; a figure with square and compasses "Reconstruction"; a figure with fruit and corn "Plenty". The children in the foreground symbolises the "new life", the new generation, sharing with each other the joys of life. Beneath are the words "Blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord"
The names and dedication are on two brass plaques-one for each conflict. ABOVE the INSCRIPTION ON the WW1 Plaque ARE ENAMELLED ROYAL ARMS FLANKED ON EACH SIDE BY A WHEATSHEAF
