About Nathaniel Finch
Nathaniel Finch was a politician.
Nathaniel Finch (died 1649) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640.
Finch was related to John Finch, 1st Baron Finch of Fordwich, and bore the same arms as the Finch family of Eastwell. He attended Gray's Inn and became a successful London barrister. He was the king's sergeant-at-law and sergeant to Queen Henrietta Maria. Finch's election was thanks to the support of the Lord Keeper as the mayor and jurats had limited the candidates to those supported by the court. This caused a near riot among the freemen.
In about 1642 Finch acquired the manor of Esture in the parish of Chilham, Kent. He was succeeded in his estate at Esture by Baron Finch who died in possession of it in 1661.
