Retirement in London
He resigned in June 1919, and retired to London, where he took residence at 6 Margaret Street, as tenant of the parochial authorities of All Saints, Margaret Street. There he remained for several years, celebrating regularly in the church and in the sisters' chapel close by, and taking his usual keen interest in the affairs of the church and parish. At the same time he attached himself to Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley Street, and was licensed to the Rector of St George's, Hanover Square, in whose parish that Chapel stands, thus becoming for the first time in his life a licensed curate.
He died in 1932, and his body was cremated. The ashes were taken to Mirfield in Yorkshire for burial in the church of the Community of the Resurrection. His cope and mitre remain at the Grosvenor Chapel.

The rest might wait. The preparations of new carriages and furniture might wait for London and the spring, when her own taste could have fairer play.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
