Towards the end of his life he resided in the parish of St. Andrew, near Baynard's Castle, City of London.

His remains were interred, between two pillars, before the image of the Virgin, on the south side of the nave of Old St Paul's Cathedral, where there was a monument to his memory, incorrectly later known as Duke Humphrey's Tomb, because of the mistaken belief that it was the tomb of Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester.

He attended King Edward III into Flanders in 1338, was in the array at Buironfosse in 1339, and shared the glory of the great naval victory off Sluys in 1340.

[3] His chest tomb and recumbent effigy was situated by the tenth column at the west end of Old St Paul's Cathedral[10] and was drawn in 1658 by Wenceslas Hollar, 8 years before its destruction in the Fire of London.

The engraving was published in William Dugdale's 1658 work History of St Pauls Cathedral and states that the monument was positioned inter ecclesiae navim et alam australem ("between the nave of the Church and the south aisle").
