Flying Angel, 1863 Designed by J.M. Allen. Made by Lavers and Barraud. Tracery light from the east window of Trinity Methodist Church, Wolverhampton. Together with Clayton & Bell and Heaton, Butler & Bayne, Lavers & Barraud were one of the leading firms producing High Victorian Gothic Revival glass. Nathaniel Wood Lavers (1828-1911) and Frances Philip Barraud (1824-1900) first met when they were working for James Powell & Sons.

Lavers established his own stained glass firm in 1855 and took Barraud into partnership in 1858. The firm employed various free-lance designers including Henry Stacy Marks, J.M. Allen, Henry Holiday and N.J. Westlake, who was later to become a partner.
J.M. Allen designed stained glass from the 1860s to 1880s, producing much work for Lavers & Barraud from 1861-67. Other firms using his romantically medieval designs included Heaton, Butler & Bayne and Shrigley & Hunt.
