Swaine Bourne & Son (founded 1868)


Firm founded by Swaine Bourne (died 1923). During the 1890s Frederick Louis Tait was the chief designer. Swaine Bourne was subsequently joined by his son Kendrick Swaine Bourne (1872-1960), a pupil of Henry Payne at Birmingham School of Art from 1888–91, who took over the firm after his father's death in 1923. The firm had several addresses in Birmingham and on Tottenham Court Road in London.

I attend the chapel which was built by Swaine Bourne (Bearwood Chapel in Sandwell) and know one of the living relatives. We also have other examples of his work.
