The Parish War Memorial (East) Window Subscriptions from the whole parish, not just church members, paid for the erection of this magnificent window, and the inscription says it is to remember those who served in the 1914 - 1918 war, which we think includes the injured, the survivors and the bereaved families. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15: 13) says the text, and on the plaques either side of the chancel and in the book under the war memorial we see the names of the people who did just that. What have we learned from their sacrifice? What is unusual about the window is that it portrays ordinary people from every walk of life, farmers, miners, naval officers, not the saints and prophets who usually feature in church art. If you live in the parish, you can probably still find descendants of the people for whom the window was installed. We will remember them.                           We will remember them.
