Those on the east are each 62 inches high x 60 inches wide (1.57m x 1.52m).

Names are listed in a single column on each vertical panel, sometimes with spaces between names, mainly using a panel for each letter of the alphabet, and having no bearing on the regimental badge above.
Lettering is hand painted in gilt.
The dedication, which runs right along the top round all three sides, is in elaborate lower case.
The names are in Roman capitals with shading.
317 surnames and initials.

1. A Faculty No.1745 dated 05/09/1950 allowed for the “Construction of the Memorial Chapel in the south aisle and to add one roof floodlight for the purpose of illuminating the same”. Was this a war memorial Chapel, and was it ever implemented?
2. In 2025 the Church has been cleared of all furnishings except the WW1 panelling and the font. Panel 26 with the details of the unveiling is missing. This area will be used by St. Michael’s congregation.
