Charles 1st Memorial Window
Lieut. J.H. (Jack) Moriarty R.S.A. (Royal Siege Artillery)
was the only son of the Reverend James Henry Moriarty, Vicar
of Dorney
(1914 - 1927).
Jack Moriarty served in France with the Second Siege Battery
in
1914. He was wounded and mentioned in Despatches.
During his convalescence at home, he sketched a design for
a
stained glass window. In his will he made provision for
the
completion and insertion of such a window - "in Dorney Church,
in the south wall under the gallery to contain a figure
of
Charles, King and Martyr".
Lieut. Moriarty returned to the front and was killed on
12th October 1915 while serving with 18th Siege Battery,
R.S.A. He was buried at Bethune aged 22 years and 9 months.
