Frederick Preedy

Frederick Preedy (2 June 1820 - 28 March 1898) was an architect and glass painter in England.

Life

A memorial was erected to him in the church of St John the Baptist, Fladbury, Worcestershire. This also remembers his wife Mary (1831 - 1889), and daughter Alice Mary (1860 - 1899). He was buried at Foxham in Wiltshire.

Career

Born in Offenham, near Evesham in Worcestershire he trained as an architect in Worcester with Harvey Eginton[1] and later also became a designer.

For his early churches he commissioned windows from George Rogers, but after around 1853 began to make his own glass. His legacy includes windows in Worcester Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral and Ely Cathedral, and numerous parish churches, particularly in Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Norfolk.[2]
