On 5 November 1922 a set of stained-glass windows were unveiled on the north side of Church of the Holy Trinity. The window was dedicated to the 32 parishioners of the congregation who had lost their lives in the First World War. The ceremony and unveiling were conducted by Bishop William Day Reeve and Canon W. L. Baynes-Reed, who drew apart two large Union Jacks to reveal the newly installed memorial window pieces.

Designed and constructed in the Tiffany style by the Robert McCausland Co. Ltd., the two top panes of the window depict the crucifixion with the Virgin Mary, John, and Mary Madeline and the lower panes depict the meeting of Jesus with his disciples on the way to Emmaus. The window was erected by members of the congregation.

Inscription

If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me
Because I live ye shall live also
Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life
