He died on 23 July 1793 in Noel Street, Soho, and was buried on the 27th of that month in St Marylebone Parish Church's churchyard.
His small but valuable library, and a large collection of heraldic manuscripts, were auctioned off at Sotheby's on 10 March 1794, realising just over £235—considered not a great sum.
He was a good draughtsman, and well skilled in heraldry, and was of much assistance to John Nichols and other antiquarians in their topographical labours.
[1] About 1801 he made notes respecting the churches in many Gloucestershire parishes, with the view of publishing a continuation of Ralph Bigland's History of that county.
[3] Owing, however, to the fire at Nichols' printing-office in 1808, the work was abandoned, and the manuscript was deposited, instead, among the collections of Sir Thomas Phillipps at Middle Hill, Broadway, Worcestershire.
