Notes for JOHN CAWOOD:
In the latter years of the 15th century, some of the male members of the Cawood family left Yorkshire and
established themselves in London, there to seek their fortunes. One of them, John Cawood became
famous as the Queen’s Printer in the middle of the 16th century. The records states that John Cawood,
Queen’s Printer during the reigns of Queen Mary I (1553-1558), and her half-sister, Queen Elizabeth I
(1558-1603), was a direct descendant of John de Cawood, King Forester, in Yorkshire, and is described as
having arms of the de Cawood of Cawood, near York. According to record, John Cawood was an original
member of the Stationers’ Company, and a bountiful benefactor to them, and was appointed upper warden
in their charter granted by Queen Mary I, and Phillip, 4th May, 1556. He was chosen Master in 1561,
again in 1562, and in 1566. Phillip (King Consort) was king of Spain, and son of Emperor Charles V.
John Cawood exercised the art as Queen’s Printer three or four years before a patent was granted him by
Queen Mary. By the patent John Cawood was constituted Royal Printer and Crown Publisher, and was
granted certain monopolies and privileges.
As Crown Publisher, John Cawood seem to have published all the proclamations of Queen Mary and
Queen Elizabeth. Our Cawood has a photostatic copies of approximately 40 of these. A Bible, sometimes
known as the Cawood Bible, or Queen Elizabeth’s Bible, was printed by John Cawood, Royal Printer.
There are only three copies of the original work known to exist. One can be seen in the Henry Huntington
Library at Pasadena, California, another is in New York Public Library, and the third in the hands of a
private collector in England, whose name we do not know. There are, however, several reproductions
executed by later printers. The printing on the folio of this Bible is a work of art, and a type of work that
accounts for the high reputation John de Cawood held.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603) John Cawood dwelt in St. Paul’s Churchyard, at the sign of
the “Holy Ghost”, and became partner with Richard Jugge in Queen Elizabeth’s patent.
