Stained glass window of four lights with three oculi above, designed by Stanley Murray Scott, made by Millican, Baguley & Atkinson of Newcastle upon Tyne. In the topmost oculus is Christ in glory, with angels in the lower two oculi, with the glorious rays coming from God into the four main lights which depict eleven disciples, individually named, either kneeling or standing, kneeling and looking upwards.
Each light has at the top the winged symbol of the four evangelists: an eagle (St.John); lion (St.Mark); bull (St.Luke); man (St. Matthew). The dedication is carried on a scroll at the bottom of the two inner lights. At the bottom of the two central lights is a scroll giving the details.
Underneath is a brass plaque 14 inches high x 40 inches wide bearing the Binyon quotation.
Beneath this are two vertical brass plaques on plain wood pattresses each 26 inches high x 16 inches wide. These bear the names listed in a single column on each, using Roman capitals.
