With the architect Samuel Ware, he made a number of significant modifications to the house, including the building of Burlington Arcade along the west side. He died at Burlington House in 1834 and was buried in All Saints' Church, Derby. The property passed to his widow and on her death in 1835 to their son Charles.[4]
