Hudson, Shrigley and Co were originally church decorators in Lancaster. In about 1871 they employed, Arthur Hunt from Hertfordshire, who had trained as a stained glass maker with Heaton, Butler and Bayne, as the company manager. Hunt had a good business sense and within 8 years had taken over control of the company, employing talented artist like Carl Almquist and Edward Jewitt. Carl Almquist became the chief designer for the firm in 1873 and from 1879 was working mainly from their newly acquired London Studio. The company also made art tiles and developed a style of figurative stained glass work that was inspired by the Renaissance rather than the Gothic
Situated in the east window of the south aisle, of the church of St Peter and St Paul, Maidford, Northamptonshire, this stained-glass memorial commemorates Arthur William Grant, who died on 19 December 1878, aged fifty-five. The window was installed circa 1880, by John Hardman & Co. of Birmingham, whose workshop was among the foremost exponents of the Gothic Revival style.
