, the etymologist. Skeat was educated at Lyndale School, St. Albans and Whitgift School
, Croydon
.
At the age of eighteen, he was apprenticed to Harry Scott Bridgwater who was a leading mezzotint
engraver. He was a follower of Sir John Ninian Comper
; after exhibiting at the Paris salon
in 1932, he returned to St. Albans in 1933 and the following year he became a pupil of Christopher Webb
, who had a studio in St. Albans and encouraged him to work in stained glass. He later worked for A.R. Mowbray and Co. in Oxford
and for J. Wippell and Co. of Exeter
; he also designed glass for the firm of Barton, Kinder and Alderson.
In 1934, he presented two glass panels to the Church of St. John in St. Albans, where he was a parishioner. These panels, featuring the Good Shepherd
and St. John the Baptist were his first church windows. In 1955, St. John's was demolished and the panels were moved to St. Peter's
.
In 1937, he married Birgit Ann Mari Lindquist from Gothenburg
, Sweden where he lived until the end of the Second World War. After the war, he opened his first studio at 7a Market Place, St. Albans, before moving his studio to Cross Lane, Harpenden

. The figure quickly vanished, leaving Hilma deeply shocked. The following night she was in bed asleep when she woke to find the same figure standing at the foot of her bed. In the moonlight she could see that he was wearing a metal medal around his neck. Canon Glossop was brought to the cottage from the Abbey to talk to the maid; from her description he identified the medal as similar to those given to pilgrims to the Abbey in the Middle Ages. It is believed that the cottage was built on the site of the Abbey's charnel house
where the bodies of monks would be laid awaiting burial.
The panels he created for St. John's church in St. Albans bear his marks described as "a hart lodged at gaze in a small shield within a larger shield with walled top and alternate horizontal sections" and a "scrolled shield with a hart statant". The hart
is taken from the Arms of the county of Hertfordshire
