Talk:Edward Whitchurch

Cromwell?
Who is this referring to? "After Cromwell's fall and execution, Whitchurch and Grafton were sent to prison on 8 April 1543 but they were released on 3 May."

It can't be Oliver Cromwell who wasn't born until 1599. The cited source for the article says "After Cromwell's fall, Whitchurch and Grafton offended the government by displays of protestant zeal. On 8 April 1543 Whitchurch, Grafton, and six other printers were committed to the Fleet prison for printing unlawful books; Whitchurch and Grafton were released on 3 May following (Acts of Privy Council, ed. Dasent, i. 107, 125; Strype, Ecclesiastical Memorials, I. i. 566). On 28 Jan. 1543-4 Grafton and Whitchurch received jointly an exclusive patent for printing church service books (Rymer, Fœdera, xiv. 766). On 28 May 1546 they were granted jointly an exclusive right to print primers in Latin and English." but that doesn't make it any clearer. 2601:602:8800:E1F0:58B5:E197:67DF:868F (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 18:19, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

EDIT: I've figured out it was Thomas Cromwell and will edit the page to clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:8800:E1F0:58B5:E197:67DF:868F (talk) 18:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
