Penry Powell Palfrey

Penry Powell Palfrey (6 June 1830 – 22 August 1902) was a British stained glass designer and painter in watercolour of horses and coaching scenes.

His father died when Penry was 16, making him the main provider for his mother and five siblings.

Palfrey soon became skilled in stained glass designs himself and produced many with his special interest of heraldic symbolism.

He retained his interest in horses and coaching and painted those subjects in his spare time but did not practice in that area until later in life.

[1] Palfrey later became a noted painter of horses and coaching scenes and his pictures of Derby winners were admired by Queen Victoria, King Edward VII and the Duke of Westminster.
