About the memorial: East window: five-light with tracery. The Buildings of England gives it as c.1920, after Burlison & Grylls. A WW1 memorial: the inscription reads “In memory of the men who fell and in honour of those who fought in the Great War 1914-18.” The main subject is the resurrection, occupying the upper portion of the three centre lights: the risen Christ is seen in the centre with adoring angels to either side. In the two outside lights are figures of two patron saints, St Nicholas of sailors and St George of soldiers. Below these, respectively, are Christ stilling the tempest, and Constantine’s vision of the cross before battle. In the centre base the arms of the Diocese of Liverpool are supported by two angels. To the left are Christ tending to a wounded soldier and sailor (in WW1 uniforms), and to the right, Christ offering the crown of life to a soldier who gives up his sword. The main lights of the tracery are filled with figures of St Peter, St Andrew, St James and St John. The topmost opening contains the “Agnus Dei”, with devotional angels in the other small panels. Immediately above the main lights, eight angels bear banners reading “Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first-fruits of them that slept.”
