Christopher Meredith (fl. 1624-1653) was a bookseller, specialising in theological books, who served as an Assistant of the Stationers’ Company from 1645 to his death in 1653. He left his two houses in St Paul’s Churchyard (the Crane and the Marigold) to the Company. He specified the following purposes for the annual rents:

• That ten pounds be paid as a loan to poor men of the Company every 29 September
• That ten pounds be split for (1) the purchase of Bibles, either in octavo or duodecimo in a plain binding with clasps and stamped in gold letters ‘Kempsey Manor’, for Meredith’s tenants at Kempsey Manor in Worcester; (2) a gift of school books to the poor boys of Kempsey School, whose parents could not buy them books; (3) a gift of small Bibles to the poor children of Christ’s Hospital.

Meredith had been a governor of Christ's Hospital in his life. He also left ten pounds to the Company to attend his burial and purchase a piece of plate.

John Nichols (1745-1826) served his apprenticeship to the eminent and scholarly printer William Bowyer. Upon completion of his apprenticeship, Nichols became Bowyer’s business partner and then, upon Bowyer’s death, the sole proprietor of one of London’s foremost printing houses. The business continued to grow under Nichols, especially once he became printer and editor of Gentleman’s Magazine. In 1804, Nicholas was elected Master of the Stationers’ Company. He exhibited an Interest in charity during his lifetime, subscribing to charities in London and Middlesex, as well as helping with the purchase of land for a sea-bathing infirmary at Margate. Nichols’s bequest to the Stationers’ Company established a yearly dividend payment to three compositors or pressmen, over the age of 45, who had been freemen of the Company for a minimum of 21 years.

The bequest was later updated by Nichols’s son, John Bowyer Nicholas (1779-1863), who shared his father’s charitable spirit, serving on committees for Margate Infirmary, the Royal Literary Fund, and the Royal Humane Society.

Re disposal of £500 of new 3% annuities to augment the charity founded by John Nichols, Esq, deceased.

John Norton was one of the most prolific booksellers of the late Elizabethan and Jacobean period. He died in 1612 a wealthy man. He left 1000 pounds to the Stationers’ Company as part of a larger bequest. Other stipulations of his will included leaving 150 pounds to the churchwardens of St Faith’s to buy land and property, the rent of which might be split between the poor of St Faith’s parish and poor stationers. Norton’s bequest further included the weekly dispensation of a penny loaf and two pence apiece to six poor stationers and six poor members of the parish. He also provided for an annual Ash Wednesday sermon, celebrated with cakes, wine, and ale at Stationers’ Hall.
