James Powell and Sons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The firm of James Powell and Sons were English glassmakers and leadlighters from the 17th century. In 1844 they commenced the production of stained glass windows.

A major production of their factory was decorative quarry glass which was mass-produced by moulding and printing, rather than hand-cutting and painting. Surprisingly few of these windows remain as most have been replaced by pictorial stained glass.
