Biography
Sir Anthony Cooke born about 1505 at Giddy Hall, Romford, Essex, England.[1]
He was the first son of John Cooke of Gidea Hall and Alice Saunders, daughter, of William Saunders of Banbury, Oxon.
Sir Anthony Cooke married Anne Fitzwilliam, daughter of Sir William Fitzwilliam of Gains Park, [2] granddaughter of Sir John Hawes of London. Sir Anthony Cooke's father John died when he was eleven and he was raised by his uncle Richard Cooke, a diplomatic courier under Henry VIII, and his stepmother, Margaret Pennington.[3]
Sir Anthony Cooke was an Oxford Don and a published author on Classicism, philosophy and theology who was one of the codifiers of the early principles of the English Reformation. Favored by Henry VIII, who called him "my Melanchthon," he was charged with the moral education of Henry's sole male heir, Edward. When the Prince became Edward VI, Sir Anthony was inducted into the Order of the Bath-- one of a very few to be knighted by the boy King during his brief reign.
He also sat in Parliament (in the Commons) for Lewes, and provided what counterforce he could against the rising mercantile classes-- who ironically enough owed much of their eventual success to the nationalist version of Protestantism that Anthony Cooke helped create.
Upon Mary Tudor's succession, he fled to the continent and was well-received in university communities where the Reformation took hold (Heidelberg and Strassbourg) and in Switzerland.
His home at Gidea Hall was the scene of many intellectual gatherings, sanctioned by the Crown and even charged with specific treatise commissions. [[William Cecil's} presence there shaped two profound developments in Cooke's life. First, Cooke's brilliant daughter Mildred met and eventually married the man who was to become Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I's Secretary of State and most influential and trusted advisor. Second, in his position of influence Burghley was able to rescue Cooke when he was imprisoned in the Tower of London for his partisanship in the matter of Lady Jane Grey.
Cooke's retirement was spent in Emeritus status, meaning he met the commissions that appealed to him-- and delegated the ones that didn't to the various scholars who surrounded him. He died and was buried at Gidea Hall. It is unclear what care was given the relocation of his remains as the Hall fell into disuse, was remodeled as a school and governmental building, and eventually demolished in 1930.
