Sir Henry Goodere (1534–1595) was an English nobleman, the son of Francis Goodere of Polesworth Hall.
The poet Michael Drayton was in the service of the Goodere family around 1580, and his works contain allusions to Polesworth and the River Anker (Brink, 1990).
Treadway Russell Nash in his History of Worcestershire (volume i, page 972) says that Sir Edward Dineley-Goodere succeeded his grandfather, which is definitely wrong since his uncle was certainly the second baronet.

Samuel Goodere (1687–1741) was a captain in the British Royal Navy, who was the third and youngest son of Sir Edward Goodere, 1st Baronet.
In that year, or shortly after, he inherited the Charlton, Worcestershire, estate of his maternal ancestors, and took their name of Dineley, instead of that of Goodere.
At length his friendship with the Pelhams, coupled with the interest of Lord North, procured for him the pension and residence of a poor knight of Windsor.
