Early life

Fane was the younger son of Thomas Fane, 8th Earl of Westmorland, and his wife Elizabeth Swymmer, daughter of William Swymmer, a merchant of Bristol. He was a Clerk to HM Treasury from 7 December 1757 until 29 August 1763,[1] but was described as "very idle and careless and spending much time in the country".[2]

Fane followed a long line of Fanes as Members of Parliament for Lyme Regis the family's pocket borough, inherited from John Scrope which at times provided the Fanes with up to two members of parliament at the same time. Lord Burghersh succeeded in the peerage in 1772 and was elevated to the House of Lords. Fane was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Lyme Regis at the resulting by-election on 27 January 1772. In June 1772, he was appointed Keeper of the King's Private Roads, Gates and Bridges. He was returned for Lyme Regis again in 1774, 1780 and 1784.[3] He was again returned in 1790 and 1796. His attendance was less regular in the last two parliaments. He did not stand at the 1802 general election. In all his time in parliament he never made a spoken contribution.[4]

On 12 January 1778 Fane married Anne Buckley, the daughter of Edward Buckley Batson, a banker. Fane's father gave him Fulbeck Hall in 1783, which he and his wife occupied in 1784, and enlarged and refurnished, adding a new north wing.[5] Fane died on 4 June 1802. Anne died on 19 January 1838.

Children

The couple had 14 children:

Fane also had a natural child before his marriage:
