Career[edit]

Vane was MP for County Durham from 1675 to 1679, and a Whig sitting for Boroughbridge from January 1689 to November 1690 (removed by petition of Sir Brian Stayplton). He was made a Privy counsellor in July 1688, and in 1698, was created Baron Barnard of Barnard Castle by William III.^[5]

During his time at Raby Castle, Christopher hired John Bazire and Peter Smart, father of Christopher Smart.^[7] A struggle between his wife and his daughter-in-law Lucy Jolliffe ensued after 1703 and Christopher refused to pay the inheritance annuity to his son, William, after William was to be given the Fairlawne estate.^[5] Christopher accomplished this task by giving Fairlawne and Raby Castle to John Bazire and Peter Smart "for the use of the said Lord Barnard and his heirs forever."^[8] William took a lawsuit over the inheritance to the House of Lords, and during this time Christopher and his wife lived at Raby Castle.^[5]
