The holy table in the chapel, which is furnished in Tasmanian blackwood, was given by Canon and Mrs F. J. McCabe in memory of their sons, the late Lt A. W. McCabe, AIF, and Paymaster Sub-Lt D. W. Mccabe, RAN. Two pairs of brass vases were given by parishioners in memory of the late Miss Emily F. Stops.
