Henry HARE, 2nd Baron Coleraine 1636-1708
Biographical Note
Eldest son of Hugh Hare, 1st Baron Coleraine (1605/6-1667). Deputy lieutenant of Wiltshire and gentleman of the privy chamber in 1668. MP for Old Sarum in 1679. An antiquary, he collected medals and authored The history and antiquities of the town and church of Tottenham (1705). He left £100 for the repair of Tottenham church in his will, dated 1702.
Books
Numerous books with Hare's armorial stamp are known. When his grandson, Henry Hare 3rd Baron Coleraine, died without heirs in 1749, the family books were sold in London, 1754.
Characteristic Markings
Hare's armorial stamp is usually applied on a red goatskin onlay, which enables the use of the correct heraldic tinctures.
