Sir Hugh Myddelton (or Middleton), 1st Baronet (1560 – 10 December 1631)[a] was a Welsh clothmaker, entrepreneur, mine-owner, goldsmith, banker and self-taught engineer. The spelling of his name is inconsistently reproduced, but Myddelton appears to be the earliest, and most consistently used in place names associated with him.
