About

Shrigley's started as a painting, carving and gilding firm in Lancaster, 1750. In 1868, control of the business was passed onto Arthur Hunt, a decorator and stained glass manufacturer from London. Hunt had worked under designer Henry Holiday at the firm of Heaton, Butler & Bayne. Holiday influenced Hunt to create brighter, more realistic and more understandable figures and stories from the bible. Shrigley and Hunt were ranked among the best manufacturers of stained glass, and their work was regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy.
