In 1792 he acquired Four Oaks Hall, Sutton Coldfield, the town of which he was briefly Warden in 1823.

He was awarded the Cradock-Hartopp baronetcy in 1796.

He married in 1777, Anne, the daughter of Joseph Hurlock, Governor of Bencoolen and one of the Directors of the East India Company. Her mother was Anne, daughter of Sir John Hartopp,[2] last of the Hartopp baronets.

He died in Bristol in 1833 and was succeeded by his eldest surviving son Edmund.
