  • William Portington (1544-1628) was an English carpenter and joiner, originally from St Albans, employed by Elizabeth I and James VI and I. Portington was employed by Sir Nicholas Bacon, the Lord Keeper, for his buildings on Fetter Lane. Sir Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey and Sir Nicholas Bacon of Redgrave paid him £20 in May 1579. Portington was employed in April and May 1603 during preparations for the coronation of King James and other ceremonies, supervised by Simon Basil and William Spicer. His account survives in the library of the University of Edinburgh. He repaired and altered the privy lodgings at the Tower of London and built new sheds for the kitchen and a pump to bring water from the Thames to the kitchen cistern. He repaired the "standard" or fountain at Westminster Palace. He made masque scenery including the temple and rock for The Vision of the Twelve Goddesses performed in January 1604. Portington is thought to have made the Great Hall screen at Knole. Portington owned a house in St Martin's Lane, which he let to the crown for the use of the painter Daniël Mijtens. His portrait was given to the London Company of Ironmongers by Matthew Bankes in 1637. The picture shows him with dividers and compass. (en)
