Born in St. Albans in 1909 Francis Skeat was a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the British Society of Master Glass Painters, and a member of the Art Workers Guild. He created over 400 stained glass windows for churches and cathedrals both in the UK and abroad.  Although his last securely dated stained-glass commissions date from 1981, Skeat is known to have continued designing stained glass until his death in 2000

The three windows below can all be found at St. Peter's church, Raunds, Northamptonshire.
