Who was the first person to print books using a printing press in England?
Correct Answer: William Caxton
William Caxton was the first person to print books using a printing press in England. He set up England's first printing press in Westminster in 1476, having learnt the craft in Germany and Belgium. His first work printed in England was The Dictes or Sayengis of the Philosophres.
Caxton's press helped to standardise English spelling and grammar, and made books more affordable and widely available for the first time.
