About the memorial: Three light stained glass window by Shrigley & Hunt. At the bottom are the Arms of Eton College (Lees’ old school), the Westmorland & Cumberland Yeomanry and Exeter College, Oxford (of which he was an alumni).In the main body is the Christian warrior flanked by St George, St Michael & Joan of Arc [for France]. Above the two patron saints are the Armorials for that country, and above St Michael is the family crest and motto of the Lees family. The Lees family were colliery owners in the Oldham area, but from the late 19th century their family home had been Thurland Castle, Tunstall, near Carnforth. Some sources attribute this window to Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
