Info from Church records:- “The war memorial in the north nave, erected 1922 and consisting of a window with two plaques, is the work of William Glasby, one of the most noted craftsmen of the time. The window, signed in the lower right-hand corner, shows the influence of Burne-Jones and Glasby’s earlier commissions for Morris & Co. For the plaques, naming twelve parishioners who died in the First World War, he used a technique called opus sectile, known from Roman times and used in the thirteenth-century by the high alter in Westminster Abbey. The letters are cut in stone, filled with a paste of ground marble, then polished”.
Glasby’s name is shown.
