Sir Henry Fletcher, 3rd Baronet, of Hutton le Forest
Sir Henry Fletcher, 3rd Baronet (April 1661 – 19 May 1712)[1] was an English baronet and politician.
He was the oldest son of Sir George Fletcher, 2nd Baronet and his first wife Alice Hare, daughter of Hugh Hare, 1st Baron Coleraine.[2] In 1700, he succeeded his father as baronet.[3] Fletcher was educated at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he matriculated on 10 June 1678.[4] He entered the English House of Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Cockermouth in 1689, representing the constituency until the following year.[5]
Fletcher converted to Roman Catholicism[6] and lived then as a monk in the English monastery of Douai in France. He died there, unmarried and childless, and was buried in a chapel, he had built for the community at his own expense.[2] With his death the baronetcy became extinct.[3]
