The church was demolished in 1904, by which time he had became disillusioned with his position as a clergyman. He eventually took up medicine, obtaining a medical degree and became a governor of Charing Cross Hospital. He was also a noted collector and bibliographer of cookery books, authoring Notes from a collector's catalogue with a bibliography of English cookery books (1909) and English cookery books to the year 1850 (1913).
