Henry Hooke was appointed city preacher in York in 1615 due to the influence of Lord Sheffield. He was appointed Archdeacon in 1617.[1] He left this post in 1624 and became a Prebendary of the Minster and later vicar of Caistor in Lincolnshire. [2]
Whilst at Nettleton, he provided shelter and guidance to Francis Cartwright, who in 1602 had killed the vicar of nearby Market Rasen. Their relationship is detailed in Cartwright's autobiography.[3]
