About the memorial: The decoration and furnishing of St Peter’s Lady Chapel were conceived by Joseph Bertram Kite, Vicar of the Church between 1916 and 1939, as a coherent memorial to local people who fell in the First World War, including his own son, killed in France in 1916. Led by a War Memorial Committee, between 1921 and 1928 the chapel was enhanced and beautified. The original scheme included the addition of a new oak reredos with panelling to the side, a brass and timber memorial plaque. These elements were dedicated by the Archbishop of Melbourne on April 20th 1921. In 1927 a bequest was given for the finishing of the memorial chapel. These funds were used to add further panelling to the chapel, introduce an oak screen and paint the ceiling and East wall. The east wall was painted by the architectural artist Henry Charles Brewer in 1928 with figures including the Angel Gabriel, the Virgin Mary and angels. Although 'New Georgian' in aesthetic they demonstrate sympathy both to the late Victorian architecture of the chapel and to its new focus of the chapel as a memorial.
