He succeeded to the Baronetcy of Belsay Castle on the death of his grandfather on 20 July 1867. He rebuilt the 1614 manor house and restored the pele tower with the help of architect Charles John Ferguson.[3] His grandfather had changed his name from Middleton to Monck in 1799, and on 12 February 1876 the 7th Baronet and his brothers changed their name from Monck back to Middleton.[1][2]
On 8 November 1871, he married Lady Constance Harriet Amherst, daughter of William Amherst, 2nd Earl Amherst. Middleton outlived his eldest son Gilbert (b. 1873) and was succeeded by his son Sir Charles Middleton, 8th Baronet (1874–1942). He was the author of An Account of Belsay Castle in the County of Northumberland, published in 1910, and Sir Gilbert de Middleton and the Part he took in the Rebellion of the North in 1317, published in 1918.
