In 1821 he purchased a 265-acre (1.1 km2) farm at Warnham in West Sussex. He had increased the area there to 1,280 acres (5 km2) by 1841 (including the farm of Temple Elfold in the parish of Capel in Surrey in 1833). By 1842 he owned various estates in the parish of Rusper in West Sussex with an area of nearly 700 acres (including the Crown estate of 333 acres (1.3 km2)). His estate on his death was valued at £319,180. The executors of his will controlled over 584 acres (2.4 km2) of land with a rentable value of £263 16s in 1871 at Crawley in West Sussex.
