W. F. Dixon (1848–1928)

British stained glass designer and painter. William Francis Dixon trained with Clayton and Bell and designed windows for them before establishing his own firm in 1872. He worked in partnership with Edward Frampton and Charles Hean in around 1877. He was responsible for several commissions in the Diocese of Llandaff, suggesting that his work was favoured by the diocesan architect John Prichard. Dixon moved to Germany in 1894, where he designed for the firm Mayer of Munich.
