ROBERT TOY. Another Printer of St. Paul's Church Yard, who resided at the sign of the Bell; and was a member of the ancient Stationers' Company, though he died before they received a Charter from Philip and Mary.

In 1558 Mrs. Toye received a sole license to print the Latin Catechism; and in 1560 she presented her Company with a new table cloth and a dozen of napkins, after which there is not any memorial of her until 1569, when her son Humphrey paid £4. to the Stationers, as "the bequeste of Mrs. Elizabeth Toye, Widowe." 1.
