Sir John Fagg, 1st Baronet

Sir John Fagg, 1st Baronet (4 October 1627 – 18 January 1701) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons of England at various times between 1645 and 1701. During the Civil War, he fought on the Parliamentarian side as a Colonel in the New Model Army.

Fagg was the son of John Fagg of Rye, in Sussex, and his wife Elizabeth Hudson (or Hodgson). He was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and then entered Gray's Inn.

Fagg sat as Member of Parliament for Rye in the Long Parliament from 1645 to 1653. In 1649 he purchased the manor of Wiston from John Tufton, 2nd Earl of Thanet. From 1654 to 1659, Fagg was MP for Sussex in the First, Second and Third Protectorate Parliaments.

In 1660, Fagg represented Steyning in the Convention Parliament, the parliament which made the arrangements for the Restoration of 1660. When this occurred, Fagg was pardoned for his activities in the Civil War and Interregnum, and on 11 December of the same year he was created a baronet, of Wiston in the County of Sussex.
