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)
