The Lucas family was prominent in Hungerford during the first half of the 17th century. John Lucas (the elder) was Constable of Hungerford in 1600 and 1617, and his son Jehosophat was Constable in 1634, 1637, 1639, and 1647. In 1612, after the local borough and manorial rights had been granted by King James I to two London entrepreneurs John Eldred and William Whitemore, John Lucas was one of the four local men who became feoffees and purchased the rights on behalf of the town on 27 May 1612.
