Charles Hay Cameron erected a monument to his great-grandfather in the Savoy Chapel.

It was damaged by a fire in 1864, when Charles Lloyd Norman, Cameron's son-in-law, replaced it by a painted window.

His report upon "judicial establishments and procedure in Ceylon", the result of his participation in a commission with Colonel Colebrooke, is dated 31 January 1832.

He was also a commissioner for inquiring into charities, and prepared a report upon the operation of the poor laws in April 1833.

A public meeting of natives was held at Kolkata on 22 February 1848, upon his departure for England, to thank him for his exertions, and request him to sit for his portrait.

His views were explained in an "Address to Parliament on the duties of Great Britain to India in respect of the education of the natives and their official employment, by C. H. Cameron" (1863), in which he advocated a more liberal treatment of the Indian population.
