He was a wealthy art and antiquities collector. He owned Albrecht Durer's Portrait of a Peasant Woman (now in the British Museum), and the triptych attributed to Goswin van der Weyden entitled St Catherine and the Philosophers (now in the National Gallery). In 1856 he donated fragments of the Tomb of Sobekhotep, Thebes, to the British Museum. In November 1876 he was elected to the London School Board as a representative of Westminster. He died suddenly of "apoplexy" on 4 August 1877 while visiting his sister in Bridgwater, Somerset. Wikipedia page [1] refers.
