The memorial window to Revd Chawner was partly the result of a cooperation between Dr Dunn and Florence Nightingale. From a letter sent to Dr Dunn by Florence:

35 South St
Park Lane W
Jan 4/78
My dear Sir
.....
I have enquired as you desired for Stained Glass Manufacturers about a Window for Crich Church in memory of Mr Chawner.
Morris
Queen Sq
Bloomsbury
is one recommended.
If you would like to send subject required size of window & about the sum to be expended Mrs Shore Smith would gladly go to Messrs Morris & see what could be done both as to beauty & economy.
....
May all New Year’s blessings be showered upon you & yours.
ever yours faithfully
Florence Nightingale
