Alexander Chocke of Avington
Alexander Chocke (by 1566–1607), of Avington, Berkshire was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 17 October 1605 until his death in 1607.
Biography
Chocke was from a family established in Somerset since the early 15th century. He was elected to Parliament on 17 October 1605 in a by-election at Westbury, Wiltshire, caused by its vindication by Sir James Ley who had been appointed chief justice of Ireland. Chocke held the seat until his death on 29 July 1607.[1]
Notes
gollark: The config says it's more common in mesas, hills and mountains, interestingly.
gollark: The only sensible solution to this is to use the RFTools builder to mine out, say, a chunk or two to bedrock.
gollark: It says here that it appears around Y level 30. Hmm.
gollark: The batteries appear to also require *zinc*, which apparently doesn't exist, or is just missing?
