From the Paper:

"Inigo Jones was born on July 15, 1573, in the Parish of St. Bartholomew's, Smithfield. Much about his life remains unknown, including the derivation of his name, details about his mother, and most of his early training. A tradition exists that he was apprenticed to a joiner in St. Paul's Churchyard, but this is only a tradition, with no evidence to support it. The anonymous author of the account in one book holds that Inigo was "early distinguished by his inclination to drawing, and was particularly taken notice of for his skill in the practice of landscape-painting," though most give no credit to this account. Little is known about whatever job he was pursuing until he gave it up to travel to Italy."
