## Why Henry Dyngley?

Henry Dyngley was born around 1515, probably near his family's manor home of Charlton in the parish of Cropthorne, Worcestershire. The Dyngley family had been in possession of that estate since the late fourteenth century, but in 1541, Henry inherited it from his father, John.

Henry Dyngley's collecting habits were first noticed by the late Lister Matheson, Professor of English and Medieval Studies at Michigan State University, whose initial notes on Dyngley's annotations in two manuscripts and one printed book held in the Welcome Collection were shared with this project's lead researcher, Melissa Reynolds. Since 2013, Reynolds has identified Dyngley's marginalia in another four fiftenth-century manuscripts, bringing the handlist of Dyngley's library to a total of seven items:

* [Wellcome Library MS 5262](https://wellcomecollection.org/works/nuckbt25/items), a late fourteenth-century collection of Middle English medical recipes, possibly created at Winchcombe Abbey in Gloucestershire
