Pain, James, address unknown, chair carver (c.1788). Married the sister of Francis Place, the reformer. Described in Place's autobiography as ‘a journeyman, a good workman and remarkably swift, he could earn full four pounds a week all the year round, and never need have wanted work, chairs and other small articles of furniture which were to be carved were sent to his own workshop, and he always had much more than he could do.’ [BM, Add MS 35,142]
