	Soke of Peterborough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Soke of Peterborough is an area in England that is traditionally associated with the city of Peterborough, and the Bishop and Diocese of Peterborough, but considered part of Northamptonshire.
		The Soke had a very small population for a county, and so in 1965 the administration was merged with that of the neighbouring small county of Huntingdonshire to form the slightly more viable administrative county of Huntingdon and Peterborough.
		In 1918 a new Peterborough constituency was formed including the whole of the Soke and neighbouring parts of the administrative county of Northamptonshire.

	Soke (legal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term soke (in Old English: soc, connected ultimately with secan (to seek)), at the time of the Norman Conquest of England generally denoted "jurisdiction", but due to vague usage probably lacks a single precise definition.
		In some cases soke denoted the right to hold a court, and in others only the right to receive the fines and forfeitures of the men over whom it was granted when they had been condemned in a court of competent jurisdiction.
		Its primary meaning seems to have involved seeking; thus soka faldae was the duty of seeking the lord's court, just as secta ad molendinum was the duty of seeking the lord's mill.

		Its primary meaning seems to have involved "seeking"; thus "soka faldae" was the duty of seeking the lord lord's court, just as "secta ad molendinum" was the duty of seeking the lord's mill.
		The word "soke" also frequently appears in association with "sak" or "sake" in the alliterative jingle "sake and soke", but the two words lack etymological links.
		Ballard, however, held that a sokeman was merely a man who rendered services, and that a "sokeland" was land from which services were rendered, and was not necessarily under the jurisdiction of a manor manor.
