In 1797 he exchanged his London rectory for the living of Little Burstead, Essex, which he left for the vicarage of Northolt, Middlesex, on 24 February 1806. He next became vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, 12 December 1812, and exchanged the archdeaconry of St Albans for that of London, 31 December 1813. In 1822 (4 October) he received a canonry in St Paul's Cathedral, and on 13 July 1824 exchanged the vicarage of St. Martin's for that of Kensington. Finally, he became canon and chancellor of Exeter Cathedral, 2 May 1826.
Resigning his archdeaconry and his vicarage in 1842, he held both canonries until his death, which took place on 16 February 1847, at his residence in Woburn Place, Bloomsbury, London. He died unmarried, leaving considerable personal effects and a valuable library, which was sold by auction in May 1847.

Poems, 1779
Elegies, and Seimane, a Tragedy, 1782
