Active: c. 1850–1898

Frederick Preedy (1820–1898) was an English architect and stained-glass designer active during the mid nineteenth century. Trained as an architect in Worcester, he belonged to the generation shaped by the Gothic Revival and the principles promoted by the Ecclesiological movement. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Preedy not only designed stained glass but also manufactured it himself, operating as an independent practitioner rather than through a large commercial studio.
