Thomas Poyntz

Thomas Poyntz (died May 1562) was an English merchant resident in Antwerp in the sixteenth century.

He invited the English cleric and translator William Tyndale to stay at his house while a refugee there.

[2] Thomas Poyntz wrote to his older brother in London, hoping that he could plead for intervention for Tyndale at the court of Henry VIII.

[4] Thomas was the son of William Poyntz (d. 1504) who held the manor of North Ockendon.

[7] His son Gabriel Poyntz placed a monument to him and his German-born wife, Joan Calvi, at St Mary Magdalene, North Ockendon.
