Robert Peck (c.1580–1656) was an English puritan minister who was deprived of his position as rector in Hingham, Norfolk, in 1638 by Matthew Wren the Bishop of Norwich. He fled to New England where he helped establish Hingham, Massachusetts with other members of his family and emigrants from Norfolk. He returned to Norfolk in 1646 and was reinstated to his living in Hingham, remaining in the village until his death in 1656.[1]
