In a statute (1563) relating to the apprenticeship of children, reference is made to the occupations of 'Tyler. Slater, Healyer, Tilemaker, Thatcher or Shingler' (5 Elizabeth c. 4, 23). All these represent different modes of roofing houses, and are familiar surnames to-day. v. Hillier.

(Anglo-Latin) Roofer, Tiler, i.e. with shingles or wood-laths [from Middle English shingle for shindle; Latin scindula, a shingle]
A mechanic who covered roofs with oaken tiles. Many church spires are so covered at this day; and formerly roofs, both of churches and houses, were shingled, as they are in North America at the present time. The occupation subsisted in Sussex, as a distinct trade, in the XVII. century. The name may, however, have a different origin, for shingling is an important process in the manufacture of iron.
