On his death the title passed to his grandson, the sixth Baronet (the son of Captain William Capel Clayton).
His grandson, the 9th/5th Baronet, assumed in 1932 by deed poll the surname of Clayton-East-Clayton in lieu of Clayton-East.
However, on his early death the same year, the line of the second son of the fourth Baronet failed and the baronetcy of Hall Place became extinct.
He died without male issue and was succeeded according to the special remainder by his younger brother, the second Baronet.
On his death the title passed to his son, the aforementioned third Baronet, who in 1914 succeeded in the baronetcy of Marden Park.
Hall Place, Maidenhead, was sold by Sir Robert's mother in 1948, and is now the home of the Berkshire College of Agriculture.
Sir Robert and his wife Dorothy were the basis for the characters of Geoffrey and Katharine Clifton in The English Patient.
