The window is probably the work of Clayton & Bell. Text below the figures: 'There shall dawn a radiant peace'.
The window was given in memory of John Charles Edmund Davies (2nd Lt Royal Welsh Fusiliers), who was mortally wounded on 9 April 1917, the first day of the Battle of Arras.The armoured figure on the left appears to be a representation of the archangel Michael.
