Clayton & Bell (1855-1993).
The company was founded in London by John Richard Clayton (1827-1913) and Alfred Bell (1832-1895). Within a few years the firm occupied a leading place in stained glass design and manufacture. They were one of the most prolific and proficient workshops of English stained glass during the latter half of the 19th century.
By the 1860s they were established in large premises in Regent Street with 300 employees. During the 1860s and 1870s night shifts were worked in order to fulfil commissions. The company was also producing decorative schemes and murals for churches.
In the 1880s the two founders withdrew from active participation. The firm continued under Alfred Bell’s son, John Clement Bell (1860–1944), then under Reginald Otto Bell (1884–1950) and lastly Michael Farrar-Bell (1911–93) until his death.
