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

With court support, Bridges was elected MP for Worcester in 1685. 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. He died on 4 June 1704, and was buried at Birtsmorton. (en)
