How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Three very large, stained-glass windows decorate the walls of the church. Two windows depict a biblical image of a soldier bending the knee towards an angel/ saint, while the last image is of a soldier dressed in full knight armour, holding a sword and shield.

The windows commemorate those who served and fought during the First World War. There are also two metallic plaques located around the inner church dedicated to Basil Rice Nicholl and John William Harford Nicholl who both fell during the war.
