Hugh Ray Easton (1906–1965) was an English stained-glass artist. Hugh Easton was born in London, son of Frank (a doctor) and Alice ({{nee}} Howland). He studied in France and worked for the firm of Blacking in Surrey before setting up a studio in Cambridge. During the Second World War he served at the Ministry of Information with the rank of commander in the RNVR. Most of his windows were made in Harpenden at the studio of Robert Hendra and Geoffrey Harper. He and his associates worked on many windows for churches and other institutions after the war. A memorial service was held for him in Henry VII's chapel on 24 September 1965. He was the designer of a memorial window in the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey.[1][2] Many of his windows contain his 'weathervane' signature, e.g. East window, South Aisle, St Mary the Virgin church, Burwell, Cambridgeshire.[3] His workshop was in Cambridge.[4] Notable works
