Memorial Details
What type of memorial is it?
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Window of three lights. Christ in Glory is shown with attendant angels in the top portion of the central light. To the left a minor circular light shows a whale and porpoises swimming, whilst to the right a similar light shows the sun, moon and stars. Beneath the Christ figure St George is portrayed in full armour, bearing a sword aloft in his right hand, and holding a shield in his left hand, treading down the dragon beneath his feet. The left-hand light features St Nicholas in the robes of a Bishop, holding a lighted taper, while the right-hand light features St Michael in armour, bearing a lance in his right hand and the scales of judgement in his left. Across the bottom are symbols of the fighting services - a battleship for the Navy, the Royal Standard for the Army, and a biplane in flight for the Air Force. On the cill below are brass plaques denoting, in Latin, the spheres of operation on those services - on sea, land, and in the air. Set beneath the window is a brass plaque bearing an incised Dedication and the names of the fallen.
