East Taieri Presbyterian Church in Mosgiel has a number of fine stained glass windows. These include a set of First World War memorial windows (three lancets and a rosette) which was unveiled on 31 July 1921. The names of 14 men from the congregation who gave their lives are inscribed below the windows. The Second World War memorial window is a single lancet-shaped window with seven names inscribed below it.

The church's pulpit (not pictured here) was given by Mr and Mrs D. Sutherland as a memorial to their son, David, killed in the First World War. It was dedicated on Anzac Day 1923.
