The family resided at the family seat of Tregoyd House in Powys until it burned down in 1900, at which point they moved to Ashford Hall in Ashford Bowdler, Shropshire. Tregoyd was rebuilt and became the residence of their only son.

Their fourth daughter, Sybil, died in 1892, aged 19, of typhoid fever. Lady Hereford died on 14 August 1924 at Ashford Hall, five weeks after the death of their eldest daughter.

On 13 March 1830, upon the death of George Coventry, 9th Earl of Coventry, Lord Hereford succeeded as Father of the House of Lords, having been a peer for 74 years and seven months. He died two weeks later at the Priory nursing home.
