Memorial Description
Stained glass window of five lights. The stonework has squared tops, but the windows have traceried pointed tops. The two outer lights bear patterns with a cartouche enclosing a praying angel at the centre. The Crucifixion scene is carried across the three centre windows.
The central light depicts Christ on the cross, with Mary Magdalene clutching his feet. In the left light is the Virgin Mary, and in the right light is a saint.
The dedication is carried on a plaque 2 feet 6 inches high x 5 feet wide below. It is set in a moulded frame 3 inches wider. The brass central panel has a multi-lined border with roundels at intervals.
The names are in five columns divided by vertical lines. The lettering is in elaborate capitals for the dedications, sans serif capitals for the names, with the quotation at the bottom in Gothic lower case.

Notes
1. After unveiling the memorial, Lord Joicey opened a sale of work in aid of the fund for the repair of the Church vicarage and Church Hall and in doing so spoke in high terms of the generosity ever shown by the miners and their wives.
Referring to the need for increased support to the Church funds he remarked that as a churchman, he knew the Church people were not so generous as Nonconformists in dealing with their church.
Many churchmen seemed to think that the church was provided for by endowments and that it was not necessary to put their hands into their pockets to any great extent.
2. The stained glass window has gone. The plaque was discovered in the beer store at Hetton Centre. It has now been placed in the Hetton Centre and was rededicated 1st July 2010
3. Durham Chronicle 27/6/1941 includes the dedication of the Lishman and War Memorial window by the Dean of Durham in an article entitled “25 years ago”, which indicates that the window was dedicated in 1916. Does this mean that the window was inserted in 1916 and the plaque dedicated in 1920?
