In 1801 he was appointed verderer and deputy warden of the Forest of Dean, which office he retained until his death.

He was commissioned as a captain in the North Gloucestershire Militia on 8 June 1798, and on 14 April 1809 he was appointed as Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant to raise the new 1st East Gloucestershire Local Militia at Gloucester.

He was succeeded by his younger brother, General Sir John Wright Guise, 3rd Baronet (1777–1865), GCB.
