Thomas Freeth

Thomas Freeth (1912–1994) was an English stained glass artist and art teacher active in the mid-twentieth-century in Kent. He was a local of Beckenham, Kent, and taught art there.^[1]

During World War Two, Freeth served as a Sapper in the Royal Engineers.^[2] Throughout the conflict, Freeth continued to paint and four of his war-time paintings were purchased by the War Artists' Advisory Committee.^[3]

Among Freeth's glass designs were the complete set of nave and tower windows for St. George's Church, Beckenham, which replaced windows destroyed in the war.^[4]^[5]
