1641 1704 Anne Chaplain Churchman Orthodox Pious Tutor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the revered figure of Edward Lake (1641-1704), an English churchman of great piety and unwavering orthodoxy. Lake's distinguished career saw him serve as a chaplain and tutor to two monarchs: Queen Mary II and Queen Anne. The serene expression on his face and the calm, contemplative atmosphere of the photograph reflect the deep spirituality that defined his life. Born in the tumultuous year of 1641, Lake's formative years were marked by the English Civil War and the subsequent Interregnum. Despite these challenging circumstances, he remained steadfast in his commitment to the Church of England and its traditions. After studying at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, he was ordained as a priest and went on to serve in various parishes. In 1687, Lake was appointed as a chaplain to Queen Mary II, the joint monarch with her husband, William III. During this time, he played a crucial role in promoting religious tolerance and reconciliation. After Queen Mary's death in 1694, Lake continued to serve as a chaplain to her successor, Queen Anne, until his own passing in 1704. Throughout his life, Edward Lake was known for his unwavering commitment to his faith and his dedication to the monarchy. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a pious and truly orthodox English churchman who played a significant role in the history of his country during a time of great change and upheaval.
