This window of St. Peter receiving the keys of heaven, in the church of Notre Dame la Blanche, Selles-sur-Cher, is by Claudius Lavergne. The window is dated 1889 which is two years after Claudius Lavergne's death.
This window in the St Anne Chapel, Malvern Priory, has twelve scenes depicting the Creation story and the Fall. It is dated to between 1440-1450 and was probably the gift of Isabel Despenser and Richard de Beauchamp, 13th earl of Warwick.
The four panels in the top register of the window illustrate the seven days of creation.
Hudson, Shrigley and Co were originally church decorators in Lancaster.

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
