After the war he set up a studio in Hampstead, and then at Holbein Place in London. At this time most of his windows were made at the studio of Robert Hendra and Geoffrey Harper, where they interpreted his full-size drawings. Hugh Easton was popular in the post-war period as a designer of stained glass war memorial windows, the most famous of which were those made for the Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey.
