Inscription beneath each set of three panels of names:
To the Glory of God and the Honoured Memory of the Men from this parish who gave their Lives in the Great War 1914-1918

Adams to Crane (click to enlarge)
The panels have recently been cleaned, they were previously much darker in colour and the size of the lettering is quite small.  As a consequence capturing the names required individual photos of each panel and the contrast between the pale wood and the gold paint was not very great.  Here is one example.

This document lists 15 men who were killed and 122 men who also served in the war, it is dated 6th January 1918, so it is almost certain that it was not a complete list.  There may have been other versions - was it published in a church magazine?

It lists 15 men who were killed and 122 men who also served in the war, it is dated 6th January 1918, so it is almost certain that it was not a complete list.

Transcribed by BarnsleyHistorian

This memorial was initially erected as a War Shrine by the local landowner C Howard Taylor of Middlewood Hall, Darfield in 1917 (from the Darfield Parish Magazine, thanks to KV).  We know that some remedial work was carried out to the base and woodwork in the 1980s (according to the War Memorials Archive) ... but the ordering of the names suggests that the stonework is not the original 1917 installation. 

A newspaper cutting from the Swinton & Mexborough Times (from Barnsley Archives) in 1917 tells us that the original design included a 'representation of our Saviour on the Cross' which is no longer included in the present memorial.

Photograph and newspaper research by Barnsley Historian.

This is the description of the window from the Barnsley Chronicle 26 March 1921.

"The centre panel, representing St Michael, depicts the victory of good over evil; in the light on the right King Alfred is portrayed as the originator of he first permanent army and navy in the country, while underneat the symbol of a lamp represnts his introduction of learning into the country.  In the left-hand side light Richard Coeur de Lion is presented in his character as leader of the Allies in the war againsy the Turks to free Jerusalem.  Underneath is a cross, symbolising the Crusader as the precursor of the British Forces who in present day have freed Jerusalem from a foreign yolk."
 
Names:
The 153 names of the Fallen men associated with this window are listed on the brass Memorial Tablet that accompanies it.  Both were unveiled on 19 March 1921.  The newspaper cutting reporting the unveiling can be seen on the page for the brass tablet.
