Lavers, Barraud and Westlake

They were part of the 19th-century Gothic Revival movement that had a significant influence on English civic, ecclesiastical and domestic architecture, and on the manufacture and use of stained glass as decoration and as glazing.

[2][3] In the mid-19th century, Lavers, Barraud and Westlake were among many young designers who responded to the growing market for stained glass windows.

These included Henry Stacy Marks (1829–1898), who designed windows with elongated figures in the medieval style for the company in its earliest years, and J.M.

Allen, who worked with Lavers and Barraud before the joining of Westlake, also designing windows for the firms of Heaton, Butler and Bayne, and Shrigley and Hunt until the 1880s.

Alfred Bell and Henry Holiday also designed glass for Lavers, Barraud and Westlake.
