A member of the London Committee which (1832-5), with the Bristol Committee, promoted the Great Western Railway, and an original Director of that Company 1835-42. Between 1819 and 1840 he and his brother William voluntarily completed the payment of those of their father's and grandfather's debts which were still outstanding from their bankruptcy in 1789.

    A few months before he died in 1842 he succeeded to most of the properties (for particulars see the book 'Antony and Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs) which his cousins Sarah (died April 1842) and Anne Noyes (died Dec. 1841) had inherited in 1814 from their uncle Robert Hucks of Aldenham, Herts (his mother's 2nd cousin): namely as heir at law to Sarah he received Aldenham House and other estates in Herts, and Middlesex; and under Anne's will, on Sarah's death, estates in Oxon and Berks, and in Lambeth, Surrey. With these properties he became lord of the manors of North Moreton, Berks (sold by his son Henry), Burston, Herts. (sold by his grandson, Alban), and Clifton Hampden, Oxon; and patron and lay rector of the last named. His residence was 2 Powis Place 1817-21, 11 Bedford Square 1821-42 (both in the Borough of Holborn). For note of portraits and sculptures of him see the book 'Antony and Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs, p. 435 and the Additions of 1927, to which add that a replica or copy of the portrait by Edmund Gill was in possession of Lord Cullen in 1932, who also had a miniature by Miss Ross (1860) (? founded on a portrait by Gill of 1843); and that a portrait in oils belonged to A.

    Notes:

    Caroline sold the lease of 11 Bedford Square in 1849 and resided at Aldenham House 1846-50. In 1843-6 she built at Clifton Hampden, where her brother in law Joseph Gibbs was Perpetual Curate, a new parsonage to take the place of the old one which Anne Noyes gave in 1832. By a re-exchange in 1905 the former is now the Manor House and the latter has since been demolised.

    She also completely restored the church of St. Michael of All Angels there, mainly with money set aside by her husband when he inherited the property, but with contributions added by herself, and her son Henry. G Gilbert Scott was her architect in both cases. The Living was augmented under her Will. See article on Clifton Hampden in the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs pp. 447-50. For her 'Royal Descent' see entry for her father, Rev. Charles Crawley.

    For note of portraits of her see the book 'Antony & Dorothea Gibbs' by J.A. Gibbs p. 435, to which add that a copy was in possession of Lord Cullen (in 1932) of Sir William Ross's miniature, done by Ross's daughter under her father's supervision.
