BANKWORTH (RICHARD), draper and bookseller in London, 1594-1612; The Sun in St. Paul's Churchyard. Originally a member of the Company of Drapers, Richard Bankworth set up as a bookseller and stationer in the year 1594. On March 26th in that year, Thomas Barnes { BARNES, Thomas ‹ LBT 07194 › } was apprenticed to Henry Conway { CONWAY, Henry ( - 1598) ‹ LBT 08325 › }, stationer of London, for eight years, but the following memorandum was added to the entry in the Registers :-" Memorandum it is ordered that Richard Bankworth Draper, using the trade of a stationer shall have the service of this apprentice and teache him his occupation, and discharge master Conneway of all charges concernyng the same apprentice. And the same apprentice not to be accompted for any of master Conwaies apprentices which he may kepe by the ordonances" [Arber, ii. 190].
Bankworth was frequently fined during the next few years for printing other men's copies, and was one of those who in 1598 combined to issue a pirated edition of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, printed by Robert Waldegrave { WALGRAVE, Robert ( - 1604) ‹ LBT 07564 › } in Edinburgh [Library, March, 1900, p. 195 et seq.]. In spite of his irregularities, Bankworth was admitted to the freedom of the Company of Stationers on June 3rd, 1600, and was chosen an assistant of the Company on May 18th, 1612 [Arber, ii. 874; v. lxxxiii]. Amongst his publications was George Peele's tragedy The Battell of Alcazar, 1594, 4to, and he held a share in Camden's Britannia.
