Another great brush of Everton history. Bye the bye I was born on the 6 July 1938 — the very day that James Baxter's wife Eugenie died. I lived in a house just opposite Our Lady Immaculate, also demolished.

Great piece and an important part of Everton's History. Dr Baxter clearly had a great deal of influence in that thriving city of Liverpool. Sad the Window now appear lost and he missed out on Dixie's 60.

Sounds like he'd have sorted our Wigan boys' ailments out pretty sharpish.

I wonder if there will ever be a stained glass window dedicated to Our Bill? Possibly in St Luke's

Another superb piece (and, like myself, the good doctor was 'educated' by Jesuits at SFX).

Lloyd, it isn't lost: the Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, Tom Williams — who is Holy Blue — saved it.

Great News Paul so the window was saved and put in my old parish church. Mind you, its long time since I have been there.

Yep got that Paul, your post wasn't up when I wrote mine but delighted someone was aware. I did say appears lost and hoped it was not as usually stained glass windows are rescued. I was about to say a pray to St Antony... and a donation.

Must say though when I get back north again might drop the wife at Cheshire Oaks and pay SFX a visit, probably fall down on me as I cross the threshold but hay!

St Anthony the name of a former school of mind. He was is the patron Saint of something but I just cant, remember what it was. Just give a few days and I am certain it will come back too me.

Tony he is the Patron Saint of lost things - so pretty apt wouldn't you say.

I meant to add

St. Anthony is invoked as the patron saint of lost things. A little jingle goes like this: "St. Anthony, please look around; something is lost and must be found."

Tony being a good Roman Candle I know St Anthony is the patron saint of the lost, lost children, lost things and lost causes, also known as Anthony of Padua.

Good to know the stained glass was saved, so much has been lost and destroyed by philistines over the years.

Ah that's it just remembered, he is also the Saint of Absent minded people. That probably why my Mum gave me the name, or was it because I was always getting lost. Still can,t remember for sure

Great story.

Very interesting story. ... Liverpool was a very different place then with sectarianism ingrained in its fabric and society. The good doctor appeared to be able to rise above it all to achieve many great things. .... and presided over many significant periods in our club's and city's history. ... and with little regard for himself it would seem.

A lot of our lost history will be on display before every home game upstairs in St Luke's, thanks to the EFC Heritage Society and it's free to get in.

The Society needs your support to carry out the amazing work that they do.

Call in before any home game browse and buy something or leave a donation.
