PURFOOT (THOMAS), junior, printer in London, 1591-1640; (1) At the sign of the Lucrece within the new rents in Newgate Market; (2) Over against St. Sepulchre's Church without Newgate. Son of Thomas Purfoot { PURFOOT, Thomas (1518 - ) ‹ LBT 08282 › }, senior. Apprentice to Richard Collins { COLLINS, Richard ( - 1613) ‹ LBT 07174 › } for seven years from June, 1584. Took up his freedom on October 8th, 1590, and was admitted a master printer on December 6th, 1591 [Arber, ii. 708; iii. 700]. Was in partnership with his father until the latter's death in 1615, when the copyrights and business of the firm passed to him. In 1615 he had two presses, and was employed by most of the leading publishers. In 1629 he served as Junior Warden and in 1634 as Senior Warden of the Company. Thomas Purfoot was one of the twenty master printers appointed by the Star Chamber decree of 1638. The last entry under his name in the Registers occurs on February 1st, 1638/9 [Arber, iv, 454], and he was dead before May 8th, 1640, when his copyrights were assigned to Richard Lewty { LEWTY, Richard ‹ LBT 09169 › } [Arber, iv. 510].
