Together with Clayton & Bell and Heaton, Butler & Bayne, the firm of Lavers & Barraud was one of the leading studios producing High Gothic Revival glass. Nathaniel Wood Lavers (1828-1911) and Francis 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 as chief designer in 1858. The firm employed various freelance designers, including Henry Stacy Marks, J.M. Allen, Henry Holiday and N.H.J. Westlake who was later to become a partner in 1868. The firm continued to operate until 1921.
