Stained glass studio, of London, established by the artist and sculptor Percy Charles Haydon Bacon (1860/1861-1935), who was joined in the business by his twin brother, Charles Percy Bacon, in the early 1890s and by another brother. For Ireland the studio produced six windowsand one opus sectile panel, all for Church of Ireland churches in the dioceses of Armagh and Clogher.  Before forming the partnership, Bacon appears to have worked in the studio of JAMES POWELL & JAMES POWELL & amp; SONS, for whom he designed the east window in Tempo Church of Ireland Church, Co. Fermanagh.
