Charles Bill and Thomas Newcomb served as joint patentees of the King’s Printing House in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, holding exclusive rights to print Bibles, Books of Common Prayer, statutes, and other official publications. Their partnership reflected the continuation of a long-standing royal monopoly designed to regulate the production and circulation of religious and legal texts in England. Through this arrangement, Bill and Newcomb were responsible for producing standardized editions of the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer, ensuring textual consistency across the Church of England.
