Family and Legacy
The Clarks had a son and a daughter. In 1865, Clark purchased Tal-y-garn Manor, a small property near Llantrisant, Glamorgan, and set about building an estate of some 924 acres (3.74 km2) with the intention of founding a landed dynasty. Clark died at Tal-y-garn and was buried there. His wealth at death was £333,305 (£27 million at 2003 prices).
However, the dynasty did not thrive and most of the land was sold off shortly after the death of his son in 1918. The main house later became a miners' hospital and was eventually converted into apartments.
