He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Earl, the son of Michael Hicks Beach, Viscount Quenington, Member of Parliament for Tewkesbury, who was killed in action in 1916.

His only son William Hicks was created a baronet, of Beverston in the County of Gloucester, in the Baronetage of England in 1619.

On his death in 1792 this line of the family also failed and the title passed to his cousin, the sixth Baronet.

The family seat was Williamstrip House, near Coln St Aldwyns, Gloucestershire, until its sale in 2007.
