The figures were painted by William Glasby.
Given in memory of Thomas Keith Hedley Rae (1889–1915), who was killed at Hooges in the First World War.
A.C. Sewter's catalogue lists four further figures by Morris & Co. at the church, although they are not present. Other unattributed windows at the church are not consistent with the style of Morris & Co. and have different subjects.
