Nathaniel Henshaw

(baptised 1628 – 1673) was an English physician and original Fellow of the Royal Society.

His will, dated 6 August 1673, was proved at London on the following 11 September by his sister, Anne Grevys.

[2] Henshaw was author of a treatise Aero-Chalinos (1664)[3] concerned with "fresh air" and its medical value.

[4] A second edition (London, 1677) was printed by order of the Royal Society, at a meeting held on 1 March 1677, having been prepared for the press by Thomas Henshaw.

[2] Papers written by Henshaw on saltpetre and gunpowder were strongly attacked by Henry Stubbe.
