Statute of Artificers

Statute of Artificers

The Statute of Artificers was a group of English laws (1558-63) which regulated the supply and conduct of labour. In particular it set wages of certain classes of worker, it regulated the quality of people entering certain professions by laying down rules for apprenticeships and it restricted the free movement of workers. Effectively, it transferred to the newly forming English state the functions previously held by the feudal craft guilds [Hunt 2002, p.22.] .
