Hungerford was probably the son of Sir Anthony Hungerford of Down Ampney, Gloucestershire and his first wife Jane Darrell, daughter of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote, Wiltshire. He was a commissioner for relief for Berkshire in 1550. In 1554, he was elected Member of Parliament for Great Bedwyn.[1]
Hungerford made his will on 13 September 1572 and an inventory of his estate was produced in November 1572. He asked to be buried in Welford church.[1]
Hungerford made a marriage settlement in June 1555, at the time of his marriage to Dorothy Allen, daughter of Robert Allen of London. They had at least a son and five daughters. His brother John Hungerford was also MP for Great Bedwyn.[1]
