He was a benefactor in the nearby town of Frome, giving up land and buildings so that a new wide road could be created leading south from the town centre, now called Bath Street. On another occasion he set aside land for allotments for a hundred families. "I have been told that at a certain hour in the morning he would admit the humblest persons in his parish, listen to their little concerns, and advise them.....He was one of the few who well understood for what purposes rank, wealth, and influence, are conferred."[2]
Lord Bath died in 1837, aged 72, and was buried at his home, Longleat House. "I was told ten thousand were present, one hundred and fifty horsemen."[3] His eldest son Thomas predeceased him by some two months and he was therefore succeeded by his second son Henry.
Marriage and progenyEdit
Lord Bath married the Honourable Isabella Elizabeth Byng (21 September 1773 – 1 May 1830), daughter of George Byng, 4th Viscount Torrington, on 14 April 1794. They had eleven children:
Lady Elizabeth Thynne (27 February 1795 – 16 February 1866); she married John Campbell, 1st Earl Cawdor on 5 September 1816. They had seven children.
