William Wyrley

[2] Some portion of Wyrley's collections of arms and monumental inscriptions made in Leicestershire and other counties, as well as in churches in and near London, was acquired by Ralph Sheldon of Weston, Long Compton, Warwickshire.

Identified as being of Wyrley's composition is Vincent MS. 197, entitled Church Notes of Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Northampton, York, Rutland, and Staffordshire.

[2] While working with Erdeswicke, Wyrley published a heraldic essay: The trve Vse of Armorie, shewed by Historie, and plainly proued by Example (London, by J. Jackson for Gabriell Cawood, 1592).

This included research on the origin and significance of heraldic emblems and two historical poems of his, "Lord Chandos" and "Capitall de Buz".

[2] During his time at Balliol, Wyrley made "Collections of Arms from Monuments and Windows in Churches and elsewhere in and near Oxford", and notes from books belonging to monasteries in the neighbourhood.
