Biography

Hake’s one appearance in the Commons was for the first Parliament summoned after he succeeded his father. He is not known to have contributed to its proceedings. In 1603 he was the only one of the original feoffees of the city lands remaining in Peterborough. As well as his freehold property he held several leases, including one of an old monastic inn, the Angel, from the dean and chapter.

Hake made his will 31 July 1625, and died soon afterwards, being buried at Whittlesey on 4 Aug. following.
