His mansion was also once the home of Samuel Thornton, and was demolished for the redevelopment that included the building of St Mary's Roman Catholic church in 1849-51. Engraved by W. Walker after drawing by J. Richmond, published 1843.Featured in 2007 commemoration: 'Lambeth and the Abolition: Bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade 1807-2007'.
