COPLAND (WILLIAM), printer in London, was most probably the son of Robert Copland { COPLAND, Robert ( - 1548) ‹ LBT 28247 › }, and succeeded him at his death in 1548 at his shop in Fleet Street with the sign of the Rose Garland. William Copland had married, November 19th, 1546, Joanna Tyddeswell { TYDDESWELL, Joanna (mar. COPLAND) ‹ LBT 03106 › }, of St. Bride's parish. [London Marriage Licenses, p. 10.] From 1548 to 1557 Copland printed on steadily at the Rose Garland, though in March, 1556, he was brought before the Privy Council and bound to deliver up to Cawood {cf. CAWOOD, John (1514 - 1572) ‹ LBT 07101 › } all copies which he had printed of Cranmer's Recantation, to be burnt. [Acts of the P.C., vol. v., N.S., pp. 247-8.] Some time before 1561 Copland moved to the "Three Crane Wharfe in the Vintree," in St. Martin's Parish, where he printed a few books and in 1562 he had moved again to Lothbuty, against S. Margaret's Church. He seems to have fallen into poor circumstances, though he continued to enter copies of ballads and small pamphlets. He died in the latter half of 1568 or first half of 1569 and his funeral expenses were defrayed by the Stationers' Company, of which he was a member. He used as a device the Rose Garland of Robert Copland, with his own name on the ribbon below.
