Hugh Ray Easton (26 November 1906 – 15 August 1965) was a British stained-glass artist.[1] His workshop was in Cambridge.[2]

Biography

Hugh Easton was born in London, son of Frank (a doctor) and Alice (Шаблон:Nee Howland). He studied in France and worked for the firm of Blacking in Surrey before setting up a studio in Cambridge. During the Second World War he served at the Ministry of Information with the rank of commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). Most of his windows were made in Harpenden at the studio of Robert Hendra and Geoffrey Harper. He and his associates worked on many windows for churches and other institutions after the war. He was the designer of a memorial window in the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey.[3][4]

Many of his windows contain his 'weathervane' signature, e.g. East window, South Aisle, St Mary the Virgin church, Burwell, Cambridgeshire.[1]

Easton died on 15 August 1965 at the King Edward VII Hospital for Officers, London.[1] A memorial service was held in the Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey on 24 September 1965.
