He was admitted at Lincoln's Inn in 1703, and entered as a fellow commoner at Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1703/4.
It is likely that his older brother Thomas influenced his decision to become Member of Parliament for Hythe in 1708, a position which he held until 1711.
That same year, he joined the army and fought at Oudenarde and Lille.
After the war, he returned to England with a letter for the Lord High Treasurer, Lord Godolphin, from the Duke of Marlborough, who wrote that "Fane behaved himself very well, so that I am desirous you would do him the honour of presenting him to the Queen.
I like him much better than his brother [Westmorland].
" A year later, however, he left for the continent again, this time as a Captain of horse in William Cardogan's regiment, and saw action at Malplaquet.

He later became Member of Parliament for Kent from 1715 to 1722, and for Buckingham from 1727 to 1734.
While originally a Whig, Fane changed sides and became a Tory during the reign of George II.

Baron Catherlough of Catherlough in Ireland on 4 October 1733 and succeeded his elder brother as 7th Earl of Westmorland in 1736.
He is also notable for being the patron of Colen Campbell's Palladian Mereworth Castle.
Since Fane outlived many of his siblings, including the 5th and 6th Earl, and was the only male heir, he inherited most of their properties.
His wealth increased further with an inheritance from his younger brother Mildmay and with the revenue from his Caterlough barony.
When Fane died without issue in 1762, his Irish barony became extinct; the barony of Le Despencer, being a barony in fee, devolved upon his nephew Sir Francis Dashwood, Bt; and the earldom of Westmorland went to the male heir, Thomas Fane of Bristol, merchant, son of Henry Fane, (d. 1726)
