Cambridge was a supposed suitor of
Frances Burney. Nothing came in the way of romance, though
Sir William Weller Pepys, a friend of Burney, tried to throw the couple together.[5] They had met through the
Bluestockings; Burney's apparent interest in him was not returned.[6]
Upon his father's death in 1802, Cambridge came into possession of Cambridge House, located in
Twickenham Meadows.[16] Cambridge divided the estate in 1835.[17]
He was an art collector: old masters and contemporary portraits.[18] He presented a copy of a painting by
Paolo Veronese, the Martyrdom of St George, to the
Fitzwilliam Museum in 1835.[19][20][21]
Works
In 1803 he edited The Works of Richard Owen Cambridge, with an account of his life and character by his son, George Owen Cambridge. It contained much verse that had not yet been published.[2]
