[4] His final post was as a senior member of the royal household of King Henry VII, when he became Cofferer of the Household some time after September 1505. [5] As such he attended the funeral of the King in April 1509, but himself died in August, asking to be buried in Blackfriars church in London. [2]

His will was proved in November 1510, [6] and he left extensive landholdings in Middlesex and Kent to his son. [4] These included in Middlesex the manor and mansion house of Dormanswell in Southall, [2] together with the manor of Southall which he had bought in 1496, and the manor of Norwood, [7] together with the manors of Osterley and of Wyke. [8] In Kent, he left land at Sundridge, Chevening, [9] and Lewisham. [10]

Before 1485 he married Joan Lawrence, from Lancashire, [1] and they had six known children:

Robert; [1]
Eleanor; [1]
