Additional Notes
Supervisor comments
An article appeared in the church brochure Centenary edition 1896-1996". This inaccurately gives Maj Kennard's name as "Maj Wakennard" as does the plaque.
More information is unavailable as the RC Diocese Archive at Portsmouth was destroyed by enemy action in 1941.
The window was probably privately sponsored.
