Montague Garrard Drake (1692–1728), of Shardeloes, near Amersham, Buckinghamshire was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1713 and 1728.
[1] From 1710 to 1712, he undertook the Grand Tour visiting Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and France between 1710 and 1712 studying at Padua in 1710.
[2] Drake was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Amersham at the 1713 British general election as soon as he came of age.
However, at the 1727 British general election, it was said that the populace were mutinous and so exasperated with the great Mr. Drake, [whom] they considered the chief promoter of the compromise and against the rights of the freeholders that he decided to return to Amersham where he was elected in 1727.
