GRYFFYTH (WILLIAM), printer in London, commenced to print about the year 1552 when he issued a broadside by Churchyard against Camell, and in 1553 issued Beeard's Godly psalme of Mary Queen. At first he printed at the sign of the Griffin in Fleet Street a little above the Conduit but in 1556 his address was "the Falcon against S. Dunstan's church" while his books were to be sold at the Griffin. At a still later date the shop with the sign of the Griffin was apparently given up, and books were to be sold "at the little shop in St. Dunstan's churchyard." Gryffyth was an original member of the Stationers' Company on its incorporation and is very frequertly entered in the Registers. Considering the large number of copies he entered, his books are curiously few and scarce. Herbert mentions only seven and only about double that number are known. As a device he used a griffin seated holding a shield with his mark and with a spray of "Sweet William" in its mouth.
