How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Four small single light windows set two each side of the South porch of the church, with an attendant brass plaque between the two on the Eastern side. Each window depicts an angle holding a scroll bearing words from the Psalms. The inscription on the plaque is incised and blacked. The church has been re-ordered with a modern entrance at the West end, the porch becoming the parish office.
The subject is also commemorated on the font cover in the church (WMR 15624).
