Giles Whatmer, d. 1675, son of William Watmer of Canterbury.
He is recorded as an owner of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Enarrationes, quas Cathenam vere auream dicunt, in quatuor Euangelia, 1532, which had previously belonged to his father.
His death in 1675 coincides with a recorded date of purchase, when the book was probably bought by Edmund Burges and given to the Cathedral Library.
