biography text
Fisher was put up for Grantham in 1722 by Lord Cardigan, the head of the local Tories. He is described as
a gentleman of a small estate and encumbered, hardly qualified in case his debts [were] paid, but [Lord Cardigan] is to bear the expense.
Returned head of the poll, he did not stand in 1727, when he gave his interest to Sir Michael Newton.1J. Garner to Heathcote, 18 Mar. 1722, I. Ancaster mss 13/B/2; Newton to W. Archer, 2 July 1727, Monson mss 28B/10/82, Lincs. Archives Office. He died 21 Feb. 1763.
