William Glasby (1863-1941) was the son of a warehouse porter and spent his youth in Battersea. He was apprenticed to James Powell & Son in 1876 and rose to be their chief painter. Whilst living in Hampstead, he joined Henry Holiday’s new workshop after he left Powell's. By about 1897 Glasby was producing his own designs in a style heavily influenced by Holiday and also Morris & Co, for whom he later worked as a painter. He was in business on his own account from c1919. He had addresses in Kensington and later Putney, but in 1939 he moved to Horsham, Sussex. After his death, the business was carried on by his two daughters, who moved in 1946 to Henfield.
