Bridges Nanfan

Bridges Nanfan (baptised 25 March 1623 – 4 June 1704) was an English politician, MP for Worcester and Worcestershire.

Nanfan was the son of John Nanfan MP of Birtsmorton, Worcestershire and his wife Mary, daughter of Edward Fleet alias Waldegrave of Worcester.

[1] Bridges matriculated at Balliol College, Oxford in 1640, and became a student of the Inner Temple in 1648.

The electoral agents of King James II recommended him for re-election, as a court candidate of "good character and interest".

When Bridges' son-in-law Lord Coote joined the Prince of Orange in the Glorious Revolution, Nanfan disclaimed responsibility, claiming that his daughter's marriage had been made without his consent.
