Notes:

1. The main war memorial window was unveiled on 1st-2nd June 1922. The whole church had been refurbished and rededicated that weekend. It is therefore seems safe to assume that this window was dedicated at the same time.

2. This window was located on the left hand side of the entrance porch. When the building was being renovated, the windows were removed for repair, and have never been seen since! The design was exactly the same as the existing window on the right hand side of the entrance porch. See C105.06.

3. The building is now a private residence called Diamond Lodge.
