About the memorial: Four Light Stained Glass window with tracery, which is above the main altar and is a very fine and most certainly a significant memorial to those who died . Headed with the words “Hope” and “Charity” It was made by Barraclough and Sanders of Lancaster in 1921. An account of the Diamond Jubilee of the Church (1969) records that the window was installed in April 1923 when Mrs Smith and Mrs Myerscough were very active members of the Church . Also mentioned is the that the large Church Hall and Vestries were “completely covered with mattresses to accommodate evacuee children until billets could be found for them”. At the bottom of each light is a “Quarter Light” upon which are the following inscriptions: - 1)Given by the Congregation to the Glory of God and in grateful remembrance. 2) Given to the Glory of God by Mabel Smith in loving memory of her husband Reginald Smith killed at Fleurbair 28 March 1917 aged 28. 3) Given to the Glory of God by A and AM Myerscough in loving memory of their son John Myerscough killed Battle of Arras 28th April 1917 aged 22 years. 4)Given by Ex Service men to the Glory of God and in memory of Fallen Comrades.”. John Myerscough also has an 'Addition to Gravestone' at Scotforth Cemetery (WMO/292852)
