Charles Francis Blakeman

Painter, stained-glass artist (1907-after 1987)
From 1921 to 1926 Charles Blakeman worked in Paul Woodroffe's stained-glass studio in Chipping Campden. In 1926 he left to work for F. L. Griggs, who needed help printing his etchings. Blakeman learnt to print at the Royal College of Art in London and worked for Griggs until 1930. In his later career he worked mainly in London, and helped the distinguished stained-glass artist Wilhelmina Geddes with her last window.
