Marcus Felix Brudenell Fitch (Marc), CBE, DLitt, Hon FBA, FSA, was born in 1908 in London. He entered the family firm of Fitch Lovell, provision merchants; an occupation which made him wealthy. This enabled him to pursue his historical research interests. In 1956 he became the chair of the British Records Society, encouraging a greater rate of publication and contributing some publications himself. Also in 1956 he founded the Marc Fitch Fund to support the publication of local history material. Throughout his life he continued to provide financial contributions to local history projects and research fellowships; as well as continuing his own research. He died in 1994.
