The Newark Herald, Saturday 29th November 1919 (page 5) reported:
'NEWS FROM THE VILLAGES HALAM. MEMORIAL WINDOWS DEDICATED. The Bishop of Southwell preached at Halam Church, on Sunday morning, and during the service dedicated three memorial windows. The service was conducted by the Rev. R. Dean, Vicar of Halam and Edingley, the lesson being read by the Rev. J. Peacocks. The memorial windows are real works of art, taken from the deigns of the late Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The first window dedicated was put in by Mr. A. Stubbs (churchwarden), the subject being "St. Michael," and the inscription reads : "A.G.M.D., and in affectionate memory of James Sidney, the beloved son of Aram and Sarah Elizabeth Stubbs, of Halam, who fell in action in France in the Great War on October 21. 1918, in his 30th year. This window is erected by his stricken parents." The second window dedicated was put in by Mr. Tom Gibson, the inscription being "To the greater glory of God, and in tender memory of Emma, the beloved wife of Tom Gibson, of Halam, who entered into rest August 4th, 1918 This window is erected by her sorrowing husband." The window is in two parts and is beautifully finished, the first subject being "The Annunciation" and the second "The Salutation," the biblical verses represented are transcribed in the centre. The third window dedicated by the Bishop was erected by the Vicar from a charity left many years ago for the beautifying of the Church. It represents the transfiguration of Christ, all the features being remarkably reproduced. The inscription reads; "A.G.M.D., and to commemorate the names of Mary Sturtivant and William Flint - whose benefactions have added to the decorations of this Church. This window erected A.D., 1919." "This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven." The Bishop then proceeded to the pulpit and delivered an appropriate sermon from epistle of the day. The musical portion of the service was of an interesting character, finely sung, and Mr Percy Greaves presided at the organ'.

The Southwell and Nottingham Church History project records that: 'Following the Great War, 1914-18, a memorial window depicting St Michael was placed in the north-west lancet of the nave, in memory of James Sidney Stubbs who was killed on 21 October 1918. The pre-Raphaelite windows in the school of Burne-Jones in the north nave central wall were also commissioned for people who died in 1918, though locally rather than in combat: the nativity scene was given in memory of Phyllis Lilian, daughter of Sir John Starkey, and the scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary were for Emma, wife of Tom Gibson'. https://southwellchurches.nottingham.ac.uk/halam/hhistory.php
