Daniel Coke

Daniel Parker Coke (17 July 1745 – 6 December 1825), was an English barrister and Member of Parliament.

[1] From 1793, Coke supported the British government's policy on war with France.

By the 1802 general election he was unpopular in Nottingham because of his support for the war, blamed for high food prices, and lost to Dr Joseph Birch of Preston.

[1] After retiring from parliament, Coke continued as chairman of the Derbyshire quarter sessions until 1818.

[1] Joseph Wright painted a portrait of D'Ewes Coke and his wife and his very distant cousin Daniel.
