Heathfield was a soldier who served as lieutenant-colonel of the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons.[1] He largely demolished Nutwell, the family home, and built in its place a neo-classical house faced with tiles imitating Portland stone, an undertaking which he completed c.1800.[2]
He was colonel of the 1st King's Dragoon Guards from 1810 until his death in 1813[3] and served as a lord of the bedchamber under George IV from 1812 until his death.[4] He did not marry, had no children and the barony became extinct when he died.[5] Heathfield's library was sold at auction by Leigh & Sotheby in London on 17 March 1814 (and five following days).[6]
