- Ven. Sir Thomas Dingley - (d. 1539 Martyr, prior of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, found guilty of high
treason 28 April, 1539, and beheaded on Tower Hill, 9 July, together with
the Blessed Sir Adrian Fortescue. He was accused, together with Robert
Granceter, merchant, of "going to several foreign princes and persuading
them to make war with the King". He had no trial, and no proof of
treasonable practices was ever brought against him. In the same bill of
attainder were included many other innocent victims of Henry's tyranny,
including the Blessed Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury. There is a
discrepancy among the chroniclers as to the date of the martyrdom. Stow
gives 10 July, the Gray Friars' "Chronicle" and Wriothesley, 9 July.
For the story of the suppression of the Knights of St. John in England, see
Stow "Chronicle", pp. 579, 580. The gateway tower and the crypt of the
church of their great priory at Clerkenwell are still standing.

- Tumas Dingli Architect - (b.1591
The parish church at Attard , dedicated to St. Mary (Assumption). was built
between 1613 and 1616 by native son Tumas Dingli. Born in 1591, Dingli built
half a dozen of Malta's most beautiful parish churches during a career that
spanned half a century, but the one in Attard is special. This is the first
known to have been designed by him, the only one that hasn't been altered
and, arguably, the best renaissance monument on the island)
