A stained glass two light window by R. McCausland was installed in 1919 in memory of a parishioner Lieutenant Charles Hamilton Hobkirk who died at the Battle of Courcelette in 1916 during the First World War. The window features Jesus on the cross. Standing near the cross are Jesus' mother Mary (the wife of Joseph), and his mother's sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene.
