The Sefton Horton Windows (South 7 & 8) As we enter the main body of the church, the first two windows on the right commemorate two very different lives. The figure in the right hand window is St Andrew - we know this from the shape of the cross he is holding.  In legend, St Andrew is regarded as the first missionary, as he brought his brother Simon to meet Jesus. (John l: 40-42).  Reputedly when he was to be crucified he requested this simpler cross as he did not consider himself worthy to be crucified on the same type of cross as Jesus.   The text across the top of the window “Send out thy light and thy truth” is from Psalm 43: 3.   The window is in memory of Alfred John Horton who was a faithful member of St Paul's for many years, and whose family are still in the area. In contrast, the other window is in memory of a young soldier, Bertram Booth Sefton who was killed in action at Passchendaele in 1917 aged 19 years.  The brass plaque giving more details, shown here, is mounted on the wall next to this window. The image of a crusader with the heading “Fight the good fight”  makes this window one of the most poignant at St Paul's.  He was buried near the church of the village of Passchendaele far from his home, and perhaps we at St Paul's are the onlv people who remember him now.  The text on the plaque from John 15: 13 also appears on the glorious East Window which is the Parish War Memorial for 1914 - 1918.
