The stained glass window, erected by friends, commemorates William Jardine (1819 - 1904), who was a pastoralist was a former Elder and benefactor of the Presbyterian Church of Cooma. 

The window whose subject is St John is on the left of a three pane window which was erected in memory of William and his wife Catherine. The right pane whose subject is "Faith" was dedicated in memory of their mother Catherine by her children. The centre pane of the window bears the Presbyterian symbols and represents the church.
