He was left holding the (not inconsiderable) estates of the Wyndhams of Orchard Wyndham and having considered Orchard Wyndham House insufficiently grand for his status, and in order to attempt to compensate himself for the loss of Petworth, between 1839–45 he built a huge neo-classical mansion on the Wyndham manor of Silverton in Devon, called Egremont House (or Silverton Park), demolished in 1901. Petworth was donated to the National Trust in 1947 by the first baron's descendant Edward Wyndham, 5th Baron Leconfield (1883-1967) but part of the house is still occupied today by his descendant (John) Max Henry Scawen Wyndham, 7th Baron Leconfield, 2nd Baron Egremont (b. 1948), whose father on his ennoblement in 1963 selected the title Baron Egremont, thus partly regaining the title lost to his ancestor because of his illegitimacy. Frances Wyndham (1789–1848), married Sir Charles Burrell, 3rd Baronet and had issue.

After their eighth child, Elizabeth, died in infancy, Elizabeth Ilive left Petworth to live in London. Legitimate progeny Lady Elizabeth Wyndham (1803—1803), died an infant. Death The earl died at Petworth House on 11 November 1837. In earlier centuries a horse fair was held at Egdean in early September. It was one of the last occasions on which Wyndham was seen in public before his death. The earl gave a £20 prize for the best three-year-old colt or filly. Succession As he left no legitimate progeny he was succeeded in the earldom by his nephew George Francis Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont, who inherited the Somerset estates, and on whose death without progeny the Earldom of Egremont became extinct.
