The company was formed as a partnership between Kenneth M Barton, Claude Kinder, and Albert E Alderson in Hove, Brighton, England, after World War II. Although Kinder had made at least one window under his own name, all three had been employees of Cox and Barnard before starting the company.[2]
Kinder died in 1949 (aged 51–52),[3] after which Barton and Alderson continued to provide glass, mostly in southeast England. Barton operated Kenneth Barton Studios until at least 1984. Alderson produced glass under the name of the partnership until at least 1967 and remained in business for another decade after that.[2]
At some point in his career, prolific glass artist Francis Walter Skeat designed glass for the company.[4]
