Life

He was born in Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire and educated at St John's College, Cambridge.^[1] He was an ardent Royalist and fought valiantly for the King at Basing House and Wallingford.

On leaving the army, Lake entered the Church and rose to become Bishop of Sodor and Man on 7 January 1683. He was translated to Bristol on 12 August 1684 and to Chichester on 19 October 1685.
