Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Baronet (c. 1540–22 November 1624), of Redgrave, Suffolk, English Member of Parliament.[1][2] In 1611 he became the first man to be made a baronet. Bacon would serve on many commissions. The Privy Council constantly called upon him to conduct inquiries.[3] He was a puritan leader in Suffolk. The power and prestige of the puritan ministries in many areas of the country owed their power to Bacon. Sir Nicholas Bacon was considered a good Christian by his contemporaries.[4] Especially his chaplain, Robert Allen.[3] Robert Allen stated that Sir Bacon's wife was dedicated to "God's holy religion and worship by every good and Christian means in the sight of men."[3]
