Henry Thomas Bosdet (1856 - 1934), who was born and died in Jersey, the son of a sea captain, made his career in London as a teacher at the Royal Academy of Arts and as a successful stained glass artist. There are over 40 of his windows in Jersey and more in England, the Netherlands, Barbados, and even in St Helena — we are still finding them.
