the stained east window is a memorial to the Rev. J. F. Smith B. D. a former rector, d. May, 1871, and was erected by his widow; there are other memorial windows to Col. Bonar Millet Deane, 2nd son of the Rev. George Deane, late rector of Bighton, who fell in South Africa at the battle of Laings Nek, Jan. 28, 1881, and to Lieut. Evan Cowper Smith, son of the Rev. J.
