On his death in 1868, the barony of 1830 became extinct as he had no sons, while he was succeeded in the barony of 1860 according to the special remainder by his brother William, who became the second Baron. William had earlier represented Southwark in the House of Commons. As of 2023, the title is held by William's great-great-great-grandson, the sixth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2023. His father was one of the ninety-two elected hereditary peers that were allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sat as a Conservative.
