FYFIELD, or FIFIELD (ALEXANDER), printer and typefounder in London, 1635-44. Took up his freedom July 20th, 1635. [Arber, iii. 687.] He was one of the four typefounders allowed by the Star Chamber Decree of 1637. Nothing is known of his foundry. Like other typefounders he also carried on the business of a printer, and was one of those who printed the "Directory" for public worship issued by the Assembly of Divines in 1644.
