Trena Mary Cox (1895-1980) was brought up in Birkenhead and studied at the Laird School of Art there. She went on to live and work in Chester where she began her career in association with William Gamon & Co. She established a successful practice, adopting a distinctive style influenced by the work of Christopher Whall. Cox’s windows can be found in Chester Cathedral and in many other locations in the North West of England and beyond. She continued to work until 1972, by which time she was in her seventies.
