The Christ Church in Mitcham was built in 1888, it is one of the oldest still remaining buildings in Mitcham today.
In 1918, after losing both of their sons in World War One, Walter and Catherine Jones donated fifty pounds for a stained glass window in honour of their sons.
Youngest son Geoffrey Ernest Jones was 20 when he enlisted in 1914. Geoffrey landed at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915 and was soon wounded. After recovering and being promoted to rank of Corporal and temporary Sergeant he transferred to the 60th Battalion and sailed into France. On the 19 July in the battle of Fromelles, Geoffrey was killed in action.
Eldest son Rolf Stanley Jones enlisted a year after Geoffrey in 1915. He joined the 59th Battalion and left for France, sailing on the same ship as his brother into Marseilles. Rolf was wounded in action the same day his brother was killed in France. After two months in hospital in England, he died of meningitis on the 15th February 1917.
Also located in the church is a stained glass window is a stained glass window dedicated to the fallen of World War One.
Both windows have since been relocated in within the church's new building.
