Cavendish died at Clapham on 24 February 1810 (as one of the wealthiest men in Britain) and was buried, along with many of his ancestors, in the church that is now Derby Cathedral. The road he used to live on in Derby has been named after him, as has a road near his house in Clapham, of which the north part is part of the South Circular Road. The University of Cambridges Cavendish Laboratory was endowed by one of Cavendishs later relatives, William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire (Chancellor of the University from 1861 to 1891).
