Later Life
Immediately on the expiration of his sentence (13 April 1713) he was instituted to the valuable rectory of St Andrew's, Holborn, by the new Tory ministry, who despised the author of the sermons, although they dreaded his influence over the mob. Another set of "Sacheverell riots" broke out in 1715. Henry Sacheverell died at the Grove, Highgate, on 15 June 1724. (The house was later occupied by the poet Coleridge and is now owned by Kate Moss; photographs can be seen here.)
