Inside St Martin’s Church, Bowness-on-Windermere, are several war memorial windows and plaques.
To the men of the parish who fell in the Great War:-
Great War memorial window:-
Now on the wall of the Church of St Martin is a plaque commemorating the war dead of the Church of St John the Evangelist, Windermere, which closed in 1995. My photograph came out blurry so I link to this, which believe it or not is a clearer photo.

The central window here has a dedication to Lieutenant John Reginald Lingard, Suvla Bay, 21/8/1915:-
