was buried 5 January 1811. A monumental inscription to him is in the south aisle of St Laurence, Ramsgate. Family Lytton married in 1768 Elizabeth Jodrell, daughter of Paul Jodrell, Member of Parliament for , who survived him, dying 1 November 1818. The couple separated permanently after about three years, with one child. Elizabeth went to live in Upper Seymour Street, London, while Richard lived in various provincial locations, not at Knebworth House. At age 21, in 1766, he had come into much of the estate left to him, but not the Mansion House which remained with his aunt Leonora or Eleonora. Their daughter Elizabeth married William Earle Bulwer, and was the mother of Henry Bulwer, 1st Baron Dalling and Bulwer and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton. Legacy and literary references Edward Bulwer-Lytton inherited Richard Warburton Lytton's library, and was influenced by its works of German philosophy. Edward based the character Austin Caxton in The Caxtons, an unworldly scholar, on his grandfather Richard. Bulwer-Lytton's character 'Clutterbuck', in his earlier novel Pelham, is also supposed to be based on Lytton. Lytton, who is said to have written and then destroyed a drama in Hebrew, has been called eccentric.
