Biografie
William Sharpe was a heraldic painter based at 3 Bennett's Hill, Doctors Commons. He became free of the Painter Stainers' Company in 1768 and died circa 1800. The business was taken over by his son Thomas Sharpe, who was made free of the Painter Stainers in 1803, having served his apprenticeship to his father, and died circa 1813.
On his death the firm was taken over by George Bishop (1787-1841), described as heraldic and house painter. He became free of the Painter Stainers in 1818. Throughout this period they did work for members of the royal family (at his death George Bishop was described as herald painter to Her Majesty), for the College of Arms, for livery companies, as well as for private individuals and undertakers.
