== Biography ==
Leke was the nephew of Robert Leke, 3rd Earl of Scarsdale, succeeding him when Robert died childless in 1707.〔''A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies of England Ireland and Scotland'' Sir Bernard Burke (1844) p308. Pedigree of Leke of Sutton. Google Books〕
Scarsdale was Lord Lieutenant of Derbyshire from 1711 to 1714. In 1724 Leke asked the Warrwick architect Francis Smith to transform the ancestral home at Sutton Scarsdale to a Georgian style that would rival houses such as Chatsworth House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sutton Scarsdale Hall )〕 Smith employed the best craftspeople including Francesco Vassalli, the Atari brothers and Robert Adam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sutton Scarsdale Hall )〕
The building passed through various owners and was stripped in the 20th century. Three of the panelled rooms are now in an American museum whilst the ruins of the building are still there in 2009 as a monument to their ideas.〔(English furniture in the Philadelphia Museum of Art ), G.Beard, June 2006, accessed November 2009〕 Leke died unmarried and the earldom became extinct. Although unmarried, he fathered three children by Madame Margaret Seymour of Yaxley. Those children were Nicholas, Seymour, and Margaret.〔(Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute, p. 137 )〕
