Printers and Stationers in the Parish of St. Giles Cripplegate 1561-1640
by
William E. Miller

The Guildhall Library of the Corporation of London is the custodian of most of the surviving records of most of the parishes of the old city. Among them are many unpublished parish registers. One of them is the record of vital statistics of the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate, which, at least in the second half of the sixteenth century and the first half of the seventeenth, was one of the largest and most populous parishes of London.

This register is contained in a series of volumes, recording christenings, marriages, and burials from 1561 on.[1] I read these records from the beginning to 1640, copying every entry which seemed to be connected with any person engaged in the book trade (mostly designated as stationers or printers). In this period there are entries that concern more than 160 persons so engaged who lived in the parish long enough to marry, to have children, or to die. If this number is multiplied by 114, the number of parishes in London, the resulting figure of over 18,000 rises far above even the impressive number of names in Arber's index for approximately the same period. St. Giles Cripplegate, however, was much larger than most of the parishes. It may be, indeed, that there was a concentration of printers and stationers in St. Giles. There are other considerations.

An examination of the surviving assessment lists for the earlier part of this period in the Public Record Office failed to reveal much additional information. It is likely, of course, that many persons worked here in these trades without leaving any record that can now be found. A boy born outside the parish, apprenticed to a printer of the parish,

and leaving at the end of his apprenticeship to work for a printer in another part of London, would probably have left no entry in the registers unless he married before he achieved a stable financial condition. Indeed, if he remained a bachelor, and left the parish when he became too old to work, he might have lived all his active life in the parish without being involved in an entry in the registers. He would have been taxed; the assessment lists and allied public records are, however, far from complete, and do not consistently name the citizens' occupations. This argument, to be sure, may be applied to any parish.

It will be noticed that the parish clerks of St. Giles have rarely shown any obvious consistency in the designation of a person as printer or stationer. In view of the ambiguity that existed at this period in the use of the word stationer, it is difficult to assign as clerical errors even such shuttling back and forth between printer and stationer as appears in the entries concerning Christopher Bynneman and Thomas Cotes. Cyprian Blagden has pointed out that a man might be a Stationer (i.e. a member of the Stationers' Company), but by trade a draper; on the other hand, a man might be by trade a stationer, while he was at the same time a Draper.[2] In view of the scarcity of the word bookseller in the registers it appears, moreover, that stationer may have been regularly used by the clerks to designate that category of the book-trade.[3] At any rate, I have been unable to find any correlation between the use of stationer in the registers and admission to the Freedom of the Stationers' Company. Finally, Blagden states that there were among the ninety-seven men whose names appear in the Company's charter of 1557 not only printers, bookbinders, and booksellers, but also suppliers of parchment, paper, and stationery, perhaps illuminators, and certainly a few people who were in quite a different kind of business.[4]

It has been my assumption in preparing these transcripts that they will be used to supplement the information contained in Arber and

in the dictionaries of printers and stationers issued by the Bibliographical Society. Therefore, I have in most cases followed the spelling of names used in these standard works, preferring that of the compilers of the dictionaries where there was any disagreement.

In this transcript I have not felt it necessary to reproduce the clerks' symbols of abbreviation; I have been careful, however, to show expansions by italic type. I have reduced the clerks' superscript letters to the line-level, and have italicized them. The word "with" written with a w and a superscript th appears here as with. The colon in the registers seems generally to represent a stop, not a specific symbol for letters to be supplied; where a colon is followed by a superscript letter in the registers, that letter is italicized in the transcript. The curl around the b of November or December (for example) is probably a specific symbol for the following -er. Where no specific and identifiable sign for an abbreviation appears, the word is given in its shortened form, e.g. "stacoer."

The earlier clerks attached occupational names more rarely than the later clerks; therefore, relatively fewer entries appear for these years.

The citations between parentheses following the names of heads of households suggest sources for further information. I have limited myself to the small number of major works of reference cited hereafter.[5] Since the question of identity is so often vexing, especially in the case of people with common names, I do not necessarily assert identity with persons with the same names mentioned in the works referred to.

ADDENDUM: The case of Nathaniel Field the stationer is a special one. He was probably a son of John Field, preacher and inhabitant of the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate, and a brother of Nathan Field (often named Nathaniel by modern writers) the actor and dramatist. There has been a good deal of writing about the Fields, much of it showing confusion in dates and identity. The following entries reveal how eager John Field must have been to pass this name to his offspring.[*]

Notes

[1]

In these registers during the period covered the year begins on March 25th. In his "Records of Players in the Parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate," PMLA, XLIV (1929), 789-826, Professor G. E. Bentley presented some interesting information about the parish and its registers.

[2]

Cyprian Blagden, The Stationers' Company: a History, 1403-1959 (London, 1960), p. 19n.

[3]

The designation bookbinder is not uncommon. I noticed very few examples of bookseller.

[4]

Blagden, p. 34. Fewer than a score of the heads of households in the following list are designated in the registers as stationers only and are not identifiable in the dictionaries of Duff, McKerrow, Plomer, et al.; in Arber; or in Morrison's Index. These persons may be members of the Stationers' Company whose records have been lost (almost all of the Company's records are missing for the years 1571-76); they may be booksellers, printers, or bookbinders who were not members of the Company, so named by the clerks with reference to their trade rather than to their affiliation; they may be paper sellers; they may in a few cases (especially those involving a single entry for a name) be persons of other occupations (even members of other Companies) named as stationers in error.

[5]

Morrison and the Short-title Catalogues are rarely cited here and, therefore, should always be consulted.

[6]

According to his imprints: ". . . dwelling at the Gilden Cup in the Fore street, without Cripple Gate," 1589-1599 (Arber, V. 152, etc.).

[7]

Some of the males here listed as servants were employed in their masters' book trade. For (another?) John Fishwick see Arber, II. 163.

[8]

For Godfrey Smith see Arber, II. 157, 199.

[9]

McKerrow states that he died early in 1635, and that his will was proved on 22 January 1634/5. Can the first of these statements have been derived from the second?

[10]

Five deaths in one household were no extraordinary event in the summer of 1603 in London. To the reader of the parish registers of St. Giles it is perfectly evident which were the plague years. The multiplication of burials during the summer months is most striking. Cf. F. P. Wilson, The Plague in Shakespeare's London (Oxford, 1927), for accounts of the plagues of 1603 and 1625.

[11]

Plomer's Robert Barker was King's Printer and Master of the Stationers' Company, with a career stretching from about 1589 to about 1635. Plomer gives the date of his death as 1645. According to Plomer, Robert Barker's son Robert predeceased his father; so the Barker of the St. Giles records may be the son of the King's Printer.

[12]

The Humphrey Bate who appears in McKerrow made his last book entry on September 8, 1587. He took apprentices as late as May 10, 1589.

[13]

McKenzie, no. 739.

[14]

A James Bowring is independently known. I can find no John Bowring.

[15]

There are several possible explanations for the register's showing the christening of two sons named John within eighteen months, there being no notice of the burial of the earlier John. The simplest is that the clerk made an error in one of the names.

[16]

McKerrow has two men of this name, both of whom he shows as living later than 1613.

[17]

Formerly a Grocer (Arber, II. 85). According to his imprints: ". . . dwelling at the Half Eagle and the Key in Barbican," 1588 (Arber, V. 149).

[18]

See McKenzie, p. 120.

[19]

According to his imprint, he had his shop "over against St Giles's Church, without Cripple Gate," 1593-1596 (Arber, V. 172, etc.)

[20]

The vagaries of Elizabethan spelling suggest that this stationer may be identical with the James Herdson mentioned by Greg and Boswell, p.72.

[21]

In the only entry I found concerning James in the registers, the name is quite clearly written "Yallowe." I have identified him with Yarath James without any very severe misgivings. James formerly belonged to another Company (Arber, II. 28).

[22]

With John Leigh he was involved in the working of Roger Ward's illicit press in Southwark in 1590 (Greg & Boswell, pp. 36-37).

[23]

According to his imprint: ". . . dwelling at the Bell in Fore street, without Cripple Gate, near unto Grub street," 1584-1588 (Arber, V. 134, etc.).

[24]

Probably the William Jones whose shop was in Ship Alley, Redcross Street, Cripplegate, according to McKerrow.

[25]

Possibly identical with Richard Wells (McKenzie, no. 309).

[26]

It is possible that Edward Marchant and Edward Morrant were the same person.

[27]

Probably a confused duplication of the previous entry.

[28]

Probably by error for Thomas Newton.

[29]

It appears likely that this entry in the register actually concerns a daughter of John Isam. It may even be that the Cunyer of this entry is the same person as Queneree Isam.

[30]

Alice Charlewood was the widow of John Charlewood. Roberts bought Charlewood's shop from the executors (Arber, III. 702).

[31]

Rusewell, who also appears (Jackson, 437) as Rosewill, and Bradwood, who appears frequently in the registers as Broadway, offer excellent examples of the attitude of the time toward the spelling of proper names. In spite of frequent variations, given names are much more regular than surnames, presumably because there are fewer of them.

[32]

An error of date must be supposed in either this or the preceding entry.

[33]

It cannot be assumed that Walter Venge was first a printer, then a weaver, then a printer, then a grocer, then a printer, then a member of the Stationers' Company, and finally a mere printer again. The clerks obviously relied much upon memory for occupations.

[34]

The word "weau" (so written) must be for weauer.

[35]

Wood was a turbulent person. Having bought an invention for printing on cloth from James Jenkinson, he encountered legal action from other printers on cloth. He then employed his press for printing books, especially primers and almanacs which were not his property. Though he often moved from place to place (even out of London), press after press of his was destroyed by the government; he was sentenced at one time to twelve months' imprisonment (Jackson, pp. xiv-vvi).
