He was the eldest of Walter Hungerford of Cadenham manor, Foxham, Wiltshire and his wife Frances, daughter of John Cock of Broxbourne , Hertfordshire. He was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1580. He was elected MP for the constituency of Wootton Bassett through four successive parliaments between 1584 and 1593.
