Memorial Details
What type of memorial is it?
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Two stained glass windows in memory of two brothers, the second and fourth sons of Ruth Parker, who lost their lives in the second world war.

In the right hand light is an eagle with the motto of the Royal Air Force, Per Ardua Ad Astra. The theme of the window is St. John's vision of the new Jerusalem. St. John is in the centre of the window, by the side of the sea of Galilee, with the words 'I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth; above stands an angel holding the world, in his vision of Jerusalem 'full of boys and girls playing in the streets.
Wreathing the window is deep blue convolvulus, a flower which was sent home by John Parker, from Gibraltar, and grew in the garden for years afterwards. At the bottom is the dedication.

In the left window the central figure is the Christ Child, calling to St. Christopher to carry him over the stream. Above, St. George slays the dragon - Right overcoming Wrong. Below to left and right, are a spotted woodpecker, one of Christopher Parker's favourite birds, and a swallowtail butterfly, which floated round his tank in the battle of Alamein. At the bottom is the dedication.
