Historia
Granson of Nicholas Spierinck (c. 1470 - 1546) from the Netherlands. He left prior to 1500 and went first to Lille in France before arriving in Cambridge c. 1501. He was a book binder / stationer and also a beer brewer. He left the Cross Keys Inn to his grandon Nicholas in his will.
In 1534 Henry VIII granted the University the right to nominate three printers and sellers of books to print books approved by the Chancellor and to sell them in the University and elsewhere. Nicholas, along with Garrett Godfrey and Segar Nicholson, became one of the first three printers of what later became the Cambridge University Press.
