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.

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 19th and 20th 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.

In Memoriam of John Richardson, 3rd Canadian CEF St. Eloy 1916, Greater love hath no man than this.”

Province
Body Content

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.

April 20, 1922, a memorial organ and screen were dedicated to members of the congregation who had died during the First World War. The organ is a 3-manual instrument with 26 stops. It is encased in an oak screen that bears the memorial tablet to those who died in the First World War and a tablet to those memorialized by stops in the new organ. The stops were subscribed for by members of the congregation in memory of departed friends and relatives. 

Lieutenant-Governor Cockshutt unveiled the two bronze tablets during a ceremony conducted by Lord Bishop James Sweeney and Canon Macnab. The organ was designed by T.H. Palmer of Knox Presbyterian Church, Ottawa.
