St. Paul's Presbyterian Church has memorial windows dedicated to the men from their congregation who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
On the west side is the memorial window for the 13 men of St. Paul's who died in the First World War. Ninety-three men from the congregation volunteered for service, out of a membership of 314. The window depicts the figure of a youthful soldier in medieval costume kneeling at the feet of the Angel, resting his sword, with head bent in reverence and humility in the presence of the Angel who holds the Crown of Life. It was presented by the Ladies' Aid and was dedicated in November, 1922.
On the east wall is the window in memory of the seven men who died in the Second World War.
