The early settlers were steadfastly conscious of their heritage and traditions and many bore proudly the letters U.E.L. (United Empire Loyalist) bestowed on them by the king, in recognition of their loyalty. Many of the windows are dedicated to the memory of these brave men and their families, by their descendents.
Since the previous seven windows were completely destroyed in the fire of 1925, the present "thirteen" memorial windows all date post 1925. Several windows are signed "N.T. Lyon Co., Toronto". Napolean Theodore Lyon, a Roman Catholic of Irish descent, was apprenticed with the Robert McCausland Company of Toronto during the 1880s, before opening his own firm and quickly assuming his own artistic style. Robert McCausland is the oldest stained glass company in North America. It absorbed the N.T. Lyon firm in the 1940s.
Beginning at the north west corner and proceeding clockwise around the church, they are as follows:
