Hmm, I love a challenge. I think it is a strange coincidence that
Brian
Hartley Kemball-Cooke (Head of QEGS Blackburn) knew
Dean Bernard Walmsley (a governor at QEGS Blackburn dating to prior to BH K-C becoming head) who used
Hartley Wood & Co to produce his glass.
It appears from this link that he made several stained glass windows for Blackburn Grammar School in 1926

There could well be a link somewhere. Brian Hartley Kemball-Cooke may well have been a son of a female member of the Hartley family hence being given the name as a middle name. (My middle name is a surname as well
and was my grandmother's family name)
Some more information will come to light I am sure.
Here is a link to the Hartley Wood factory and some information from someone who says his father was stained glass artist and bought his glass from Hartley Wood (presumably not Dean Walmsley as it looks from the account that he picked up glass in 1989 and Dean Walmsley had died in 1985 aged 92), but interesting photographs.
