About the memorial: Two single stained glass windows with a dedication between them in calligraphy on vellum in a bronze frame. The theme of the windows is from the Te Deum - TO THEE ALL ANGELS CRY ALOUD/THE NOBLE ARMY OF MARTYRS PRAISE THEE. As the figures are moving in the direction of the sanctuary, an invitation to worship is suggested. They depict- Left Hand Window- Angels in attitudes of praise, one carrying a harp, with stars at their feet, and tongues of flame on their foreheads. Right Hand Window- The Apostles and Martyrs, Andrew, patron saint of Scotland is leading with the Saltire Cross, followed by Peter carrying the key and Paul carrying the sword by which, according to tradition, he was beheaded. In front, kneeling in adoration , is Stephen, the first Martyr. Above them is the crown of victory. The contrast between the innocent joy of the faces of the angels and the lined suffering on the faces of the martyrs is very striking.
