In May 1637, Hyde became subdean and prebendary of Salisbury Cathedral, stall of South Grantham (4 March 1639).
Like other members of his family, he was a staunch royalist and was sequestered from his livings under the Commonwealth, but reoccupied them at the Restoration.
According to his epitaph, he gave generously to the repairs of the cathedral after its desecration by the soldiers of the parliament.
[1] Hyde died in St Giles in the Fields (near London),[2] on 22 August 1667, aged 69, and was buried in the south aisle of the nave of Salisbury Cathedral, beneath a black marble slab bearing a Latin inscription.
His daughter, Margaret, was married to the paternal grandfather of vice-admiral Hyde Parker.
