Henry Tooley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Tooley (d. 1551) was a Suffolk, England merchant. Alive during the Tudor period, by the time of his death he was one of the richest businessmen in the town of Ipswich.[1] He was closely associated with the fellow merchant and Member of Parliament for Ipswich, Robert Daundy.[2] His trade network extended Biscayan ports, the Netherlands and Iceland as well as including much of East Anglia east of line drawn between Chelmsford and Thetford – and the highly populated and industry towns of south Suffolk in particular.[3] He left two testaments to his lucrative career as a merchant" the Tooley Almshouses and the account books preserved in the Suffolk Record Office.[4]
