Family and Death
Tomline had inherited further property before he died of apoplexy at Kingston Hall, near Wimborne, Dorset and his estate was worth £200,000 (£13 million at 2003 prices). He was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
Tomline and his wife had three sons but they relinquished their claim to the baronetcy:
- William Edward Tomline (1787–1836), MP for, successively, Christchurch, Truro, and Minehead.
- George-Thomas Tomline, became Chancellor of Lincoln and prebendary of Winchester.
- Richard Tomline, his third son, became precentor of Lincoln.
