About the memorial: Lord Derby relinquished his Chapel to the Parish to form the basis for the War Memorial. The chapel was refurnished, which included installing oak panelling around the outside walls to the East and South, below window level, and installing stained glass lights in the East window. There is a carved dedication in Gothic script along the top of the panelling, which begins to the left of the reredos, and continues into the corner to the right, and then along the South wall. The Great War names are carried on the eight panels leading away from the altar rail towards the rear of the chapel, with some additional names being on a ninth, framed, square panel on the wall between the windows. The World War 2 names are carved on three separate oak panels which have been affixed to the three wall panels forward of the Great War panels. The most forward of these three panels, bearing just two names, is different from the other two, and is probably a later addition for missed names. The inscriptions are carved in relief. The East window of the chapel is divided into three sections. At the top are fourteen lights. The inner twelve depict the crests of the Allied Nations, with the outer two having the dates of the conflict. A text runs along the bottom of this section. The middle section has seven lights. In the three central lights lights, Our Lord is depicted with two standing Angels at the Resurrection, and is depicted performing Miracles in the two lights to each side. The lower section has three lights, depicting Our Lady, Queen of Heaven with the infant Jesus on her knee, flanked by kneeling Angels. Another text runs along the bottom of this section. The Battlefield Cross is high on the wall between the windows in the South wall.
