Thomas Peebles (glazier)
Scottish glazier / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Peebles or Peblis was a Scottish glazier who worked for James IV, Margaret Tudor, and James V of Scotland.
The old Scottish word for a glazier was a "glassin wright". In Edinburgh, craftsmen joined an incorporation of wrights and masons and other related trades. The glaziers were classed with painters in the craft hierarchy. Thomas Peebles, who worked mostly for the king, had a workshop in a "great house" at Holyrood Palace.[1] He received an annual fee from the royal treasurer and comptroller for maintaining the windows of the royal palaces in addition to payment for his work. He also received livery clothes.[2]
