How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Inscription in diamond pane beneath the third light of a four-light, stained glass window with figure in each light. The depictions are of St Edmund, St Cecil, St Clement of Rome, and St Catherine of Alexandria.
In the 1920s the 34 windows around the Cathedral Cloisters were glazed in stained glass with images depicting the Church’s Calendar. Of the 130 lights about a quarter are WW1 Memorials. The fourth light was the gift of one of the two main artists involved in creating the windows - Archibald Keightley Nicholson - and carries an inscription to that effect.
