About the memorial: A wood and marble niche with Christ crucified with a memorial book below. Also included as part of the war memorial is the above window. The IWM Register gives separate status to the niche and the window (40171/2) but my observation was that the window, niche and Book of Remembrance form a single linked memorial.
