June the Dissenting chapel in Cross Street, Manchester was sacked by a mob chanting Sacheverell's name. In May 1717 a riot broke out in Oxford when the Whig Constitution Club tried to burn Sacheverell in effigy, which was prevented by the mob. Sacheverell inherited the manor of Callow in Derbyshire in the summer of 1715 after George Sacheverell died. He married George's widow Mary in June 1716 and took possession of the estate in 1717. He purchased a landed estate in Wilden, Bedfordshire and in 1720 bought an elegant house in South Grove, Highgate, London. In January 1723 he slipped on the icy doorstep of his Highgate home and broke two ribs. Henry Sacheverell died at his Highgate house on 5 June 1724. He was buried at St Andrew's in the vault. The house was later occupied by the poet Coleridge and is now owned by Kate Moss. Legacy Writing later in the eighteenth century, the Whig member of parliament Edmund Burke used the speeches of Whig leaders at the Sacheverell trial in his An Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs (1791) to demonstrate true Whiggism (as opposed to the beliefs of the Foxite 'New Whigs'). Historian Greg Jenner asserts in his Dead Famous: An Unexpected History of Celebrity from Bronze Age to Silver Screen (2020, W&N ) that Sacheverell was the first example of a celebrity.
