In 1868, control of Shrigley's was passed to Arthur Hunt, a Londoner, who ran a stained glass and decorating business in the south of England.

Holiday influenced Hunt to create brighter, more realistic and more understandable figures and stories from the bible.

After World War II the company moved to West Road, Lancaster; fire destroyed much of those premises in 1973.

As well as stained glass, Shrigley and Hunt made ceramic tiles; in the late 19th century these formed an important part of the income of the company.

This includes two panels by E. L. Eaton, a stained-glass window and its cartoon in the design of John O'Gaunt, several negatives showing posed figures for stained glass artists to copy, and two painted vases by William Lambert.
