the Bath and on 19 July 1821 he became a Rear Admiral. During these years, despite constant entreaties to the Admiralty, he never took up further important postings. However, his record can be seen as exceptional. He was, with Nelson and Collingwood, one of only three Royal Naval officers to receive three Naval Gold Medals, having commanded a line-of-battle ship in the Battle of the Nile, Trafalgar and San Domingo. Following several years of severe illness and extreme debility, he died on 13 February 1831 at his residence in Bath and was buried in a nearby churchyard where his grave can still be seen at St Swithin’s Church, Walcot, Bath. As he left no children, his baronetcy became extinct with his death. Further reading Dictionary of National Biography, 1885.
