The John Bargrave Collection
Alexander Cooke ( - bur. 26 Mar 1672)
Vicar of Chislet from 12 June 1662 until his death in 1672, buried 26 March 1672 in Chislet (Haslewood, 91. Hasted indicates that Cooke took up his post on 23 June 1662, IX.109). According to Robertson, Cooke was a resident of Doncaster in 1646-1647, where his son William was born and buried (citing the parish register, xxviii). Bargrave says that Cooke was ejected from his living in Doncaster when the "rebels" took over. Robertson further suggests that Cookemay have been the son of a person of the same name who held the Vicarage of Leeds from 1615 until his death in 1632, and was noted as a learned man, of Calvinistic opinions, and the author of some oddly-titled works against the Church of Rome [citing Wood's Athenae Oxonienses, and Thomas Whitaker, Loidis and Elmete (Leeds, 1816-20), pg. 28]. His wife was a sister of Archbishop Bramhall (xxviii).According to Bargrave, Cooke was chaplain to Sir Thomas Lunsford and made minister of Chislet by Archbishop Juxon.
