North Wall of the Nave - Westernmost Window

This window is dedicated to Ernest William Litherland who died February 21st 1919 following his return from active service in Salonika during the Great War 1914-1918 aged 29 years. The left hand light of this window depicts St George and a green dragon. St George being the patron saint of England, soldiers, and boy scouts was widely decorated as a soldier saint from early times.

The central light shows St Michael with a red dragon and in the background an unidentified church and above is the badge of the Royal Flying Corps. Michael is honoured in the west s captain of the heavenly host and in the east he was looked on as the protector of the sick.

The right hand light depicts St Alban with the Abbey church of St Alban in the background. Alban is venerated as the first Christian martyr who was executed for refusing to renounce Christianity.
