Window
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
A three-light stained glass window. Each lancet light has a border of blue, green and yellow pieces. The centre light contains an image of Christ seated on his throne, wearing red robes and holding a crown while a warrior saint in armour and a blue mantle is kneeling and presenting a sword of peace. The two side panels contain depictions of winged angel saints in white robes. The scrolls at the foot of each light are surrounded with acanthus leaves, fruit and other foliage. The inscriptions are in upright sentence case Gothic lettering mainly black but with some capitals rubricated.

A brass plaque on the cill bears information relating to this window and to an adjacent tablet which is a separate memorial. The incised inscription is in mixed styles of upright Roman lettering.
