On 5 June 1921 a three pane stained glass window was dedicated to members of the 10th Regiment Royal Grenadiers who fell in the First World War. The unveiling ceremony was conducted by Colonel A. Primrose in front of a large crowd consisting of members of the regiment and friends. The window represents the signing of the Magna Carta by King John.

The Jarvis Window was dedicated to Lieutenant William Dummer Powell Jarvis after his death in the First World War on 24 April 1915. Two years later a plaque in his honour was erected near the window. His grandfather the Honorable William Jarvis was an officer in the 1st American Regiment (or Queen's Rangers) and served in the Revolutionary War.

This Tiffany style window was made by New York Studio of Calvert and Kimberley. It depicts the Holy Ghost to the Apostles at Pentecost - 50 days after Easter and ten after the Ascension.

The Lieutenant William Dummer Powell Jarvis Plaque was unveiled by Canon Arthur FitzWalter Wynne Plumptre at St. James Cathedral on 6 March 1917. It was erected near the stained glass window that was dedicated to him two years earlier. The ceremony was attended by 150 people.

On 30 October 1927 the 123rd Overseas Battalion Royal Grenadiers Colours were ceremoniously deposited at St. James Cathedral. The ceremony conducted by Reverend Charles Hedley was attended by 700 officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the battalion. During the ceremony, a wreath was hung on the Royal Grenadiers’ memorial window on the west wall of the nave. The 123rd Battalion served at Vimy Ridge, Avion, Passchendaele, Amiens, Cambrai, and Mons. During this period 365 men of the Battalion were killed and over 1,000 were wounded.

In earlier times, Colours played a prominent part in many battles. They served to identify units in battle, often marking the focal point of a struggle. Captured Colours were a prized trophy and attracted enemy attention and inspired much gallantry. By the late 19^th and 20^th Century, however, they were no longer carried in battle, but their status as the heart and soul of a Regiment continued, and the laying up of Colours signifies and helps keep holy the memories of the men who sacrificed their lives.

On 8 June 1919 the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles Colours were hung on the west wall of the nave in St. James Cathedral.

In 1917 a baptismal font of cut stone was dedicated to Calvary Church at 247 Rosethorn Avenue in memory of Private John Richardson by his parents. John Richardson was born in Manchester, England on 7 February 1897. He moved with his parents, William and Emily Richardson, to Toronto and worked as a bicycle builder before enlisting in the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 27 July 1915. Upon arriving in Europe, he was placed in the 58th Battalion. He was killed by shellfire on 19 April 1916 while fighting at St. Eloi.

The baptism font moved to the church of St. Mark, which was located on 21 Blackthorn Avenue, when St. Mark and the Church of Calvary amalgamated in 1970 to become St. Mark & Calvary. The church was disestablished on December 31, 2011. When this church was sold the baptismal fonts were included in the sale.
