Berington's bookplate (British Museum Franks Collection 2309)

Books

A member of "a complex clan of recusant minor gentry families in the Welsh borders" (Landed families website) whose early 18th-century bookplate "W. Berington M.D." (Franks 2309) suggests that he may be the William Berington, son of Thomas of Canon Pyon, Herefordshire who matriculated at New Inn Hall, Oxford in 1722, but about whom no further details are known.
