Lawrence Stanley Lee (1909-2011) studied art at the Royal College of Art where he later became Head of Stained Glass. With two of his students, Keith New and Geoffrey Clark, he masterminded the design of the ten nave windows at Coventry Cathedral. He also has windows at Guildford and Southwark Cathedrals. In 1974 he was elected Master of the Worshipful Company of Stained Glass Artists. He recognised the work of his many assistants over the years by including their initials within his own monogram on his windows. Lawrence Lee continued to work as a stained glass artist until the early 1990s. He celebrated his 100th birthday in September 2009.
