Andy Wade Posted 24 November , 2015 Share Posted 24 November , 2015 All Saints Church in Keighley has a WW1 memorial window to the men of the congregation who died in the war, although sadly I haven't got a photograph of it in our archives. It is recorded in the IWM's UK National Inventory of war memorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Fusilier Posted 24 November , 2015 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2015 Just noticed this one. Here is a link to another window commemorating three brothers: http://www.irishwarmemorials.ie/Memorials-Detail?memoId=108; all three within twelve months. Here's one to an only child: http://www.irishwarmemorials.ie/Memorials-Detail?memoId=157 Also, though not strictly relevant to this thread (not being a window), a memorial to five grandsons: http://www.irishwarmemorials.ie/Memorials-Detail?memoId=125 Michael Michael, Many thanks for sharing those beautiful commemorative windows which are so poignant, particularly that to the three brothers killed in action, and how devastating for the Grandfather to have five Grandsons die. I often feel that those who lost loved ones, took great comfort from seeing them commemorated within the beauty of those stained glass windows.

Lancashire Fusilier Posted 24 November , 2015 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2015 Hadn't seen this thread before! The memorial windows from Temple Street Methodist Chapel in Keighley. Now fully restored and in a beautiful display of stained glass in Cliffe Castle Museum. It's well worth a visit as they're all backlit and the colours are amazing. We also found the oak war memorial board with the names of the men earlier this year, it goes with these windows and it has recently been put on display at the museum: Interpretation Panel new small.jpg Andy, Another great Keighly restoration project, to go with the WW1 memorial plaque you found and saved from being destroyed, such WW1 commemoratives are irreplaceable.

Lancashire Fusilier Posted 7 January , 2016 Author Share Posted 7 January , 2016 An extremely well painted likeness of Lt. Roderick Hubert Gray, M.C., is portrayed in this memorial stained-glass window erected by his family, in St. Leonard's Church, near Colchester. The excellent likeness, can be seen from his photograph. For his bravery in action, Lt. Gray was awarded the Military Cross. LF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1918 Posted 7 January , 2016 Share Posted 7 January , 2016 St Barnabas Church Ranskill near Blyth Notts. Part of stained glass memorial window to the local men who fell. Interestingly featuring Herbert Bullivant born in Whitwell in 1894 - who emigrated in Apr 1914 and enlisted in 19th Canadian Infantry Nov 1914 and survived the war. He visited Ranskill in 1925 , 1935 and 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scorer Posted 7 January , 2016 Share Posted 7 January , 2016 Interestingly featuring Herbert Bullivant born in Whitwell in 1894 - who emigrated in Apr 1914 and enlisted in 19th Canadian Infantry Nov 1914 and survived the war. He visited Ranskill in 1925 , 1935 and 1950. I wonder what his thought and actions were when he saw his name on the memorial for the first time - did he know he was on there before his visit?
