Life

[edit]
Memorial to John Hacket inLichfield Cathedral

He was born inLondon and educated atWestminster andTrinity College, Cambridge.[1] On taking his degree he was elected a fellow of his college, and soon afterwards wrote thecomedy,Loiola (London, 1648), which was twice performed before KingJames I. He was ordained in 1618, and through the influence ofJohn Williams became rector in 1621 of Stoke Hammond,Buckinghamshire, and Kirkby Underwood,Lincolnshire.

In 1623 he was chaplain to James, and in 1624 Williams gave him the livings ofSt Andrew's, Holborn in London, andCheam, Surrey. He wasArchdeacon of Bedford from 1631 to 1661.

When the so-calledRoot and Branch Bill was beforeParliament in 1641, Hacket was selected to plead in theHouse of Commons for the continuance of cathedral establishments. In 1645 his living of St Andrew's was sequestered, but he was allowed to retain the other, ceding it for practical reasons in 1662.

On the accession ofCharles II, his fortunes improved; he frequently preached before the king, and was electedBishop of Lichfield and Coventry after the bishopric was rejected by the Presbyterian leaderEdmund Calamy the elder. Hacket waselected to the See on 6 December,confirmed on 20 December, and consecrated a bishop on 22 December 1661.[2] His time at the Cathedral coming immediately after theEnglish Civil War meant that Hacket had the unenviable task of overseeing the restoration ofLichfield Cathedral.

He has a near life-size effigy at rest over marble plaques in Lichfield Cathedral.

Works

His best-known book is the biography of his patron, Archbishop Williams, entitledScrinia reserata: a Memorial offered to the great Deservings of John Williams, D.D. (London, 1693).
