Sir James and Lady Knott

In loving memory
of
Captain Henry Basil Knott
9th Northumberland Fusiliers
who fell on the Ypres Front
on the 7th of September 1915

Also of
Major James Leadbitter Knott, D.S.O.
who was killed in action while in command
of the 10th West Yorkshire Regiment
during the British Advance on the Somme
1st of July 1916.

Stained glass window of two lights.

The left light depicts St. George, with his flag above him, and repeated in a shield at the top.

Below this is a coat of arms in the shape of a shield of blue background with an ancient yellow boat at centre, anchors at three corners and the motto “Facta Non Verba” (“Deeds not words”).

The right hand light depicts St. Joan of Arc, in a similar manner, but at the bottom of this light is the dedication, written in black lettering with yellow capitals to the names, using upper and lower case letters.

1. It is queried whether the coat of arms at the foot of the left hand light is that of Sir James Knott, who was a Baronet, and a shipping magnate.
