Henry Penruddocke Wyndham (1736–1819) MP JP FSA FRS, was a British Whig Member of Parliament, topographer and author.
He was accompanied on his journey of 1777 by the Swiss watercolourist Samuel Hieronymus Grimm, whose works illustrated the account.
His most celebrated publication remains his Diary of the Late George Bubb Dodington in 1784, a rich source of information about politics in the first half of the 18th century.
Two paintings of the college landscape made by Turner during his visits of 1798 and c. 1800 are now preserved in the British Museum.
He died on 3 May 1819 and was buried in the Wyndham family vault in St Edmund's Church, Salisbury.
