In 1951, a Service Window was erected in the chapel of The Church of The Messiah at 240 Avenue Road and dedicated to the Glory of God and in humble thankfulness for all the members of the parish who served in the Second World War. It was erected by their families, friends and fellow parishioners.
A fire in 1976 gutted the church and all the stained glass windows were broken. Local artist Stephen Taylor was only able to incorporate some glass into a new church window from the original stained glass as most had been too badly damaged in the fire. The new window is a memorial to Sunday School Superintendent 1891 - 1924, Grant Helliwell. His son Joseph Grant Helliwell died in the First World War and the church dedicated an alms basin in his honour.
