To the Glory of God and in precious memory of our darling only son Alec Miller born November 15th 1924 at rest March 17th 1932.

 

Thomas William Camm (1839-1912) was a maker and designer of stained glass in Smethwick, where he and two brothers established a company around 1865. This was sold in 1888 and thereafter the two other brothers set up a new company, known as Camm & Co. Thomas set up his own company, TW Camm, which was continued after his death in the same name by Walter Herbert Camm (1881-1967), his second son, and his daughter, Florence (1874-1960), assisted by an older son, Robert (1878-1954), who was originally a schoolmaster. Walter trained at Birmingham and West Bromwich Schools of Art and much of the company's work is to be found in churches in that area.
