Colonel Peter Hawker 24 November 1786 7 August 1853 was a celebrated diarist and author and a shooting sportsman accounted one of the "great shots" of the 19th century. His sporting exploits were widely followed and on occasion considered worth reporting in The Times. Hawker is best known today for his published works on the sporting activities of shooting wildfowling and fishing. Hawker published his "Advice to Young Sportsmen" in 1814 a popular work with nine impressions in his lifetime the latest paper edition appearing in 1975. Forty years after Hawker's death an Australian book reviewer stated "Probably no book on the subject of sport ever enjoyed so wide or so long sustained a popularity as the Instructions to Young Sportsmen".

Cheshire. In his diary Peter Hawker recorded visiting Robert Rising in July 1816: 'Proceeded from London by the mail to Norwich where we arrived on the evening of the 6th and proceeded in a chaise to Mr. Rising's at Horsey 130 miles from London'. This was soon after publication of this book which Hawker noted in his diary entry for June 9: 'Published my second edition of Instructions to Young Sportsmen previously to leaving town.' Hawker seems to have stayed with Rising until July 12 and presumably gifted this copy of the book to him during that time. Horsey Hall Robert Rising's residence is in Norfolk. N unknown
