Kingston attended his last Privy Council meeting on 1 Sept. 1540 and died at Painswick 13 days later. In his short will, drawn up on 26 June 1539, soon after his brush with Broke, he made bequests to Sir John Dauntesey, Sir John St. Loe, Richard Cromwell alias Williams*, and John and Thomas Guise, who were probably his stepsons. Apart from Painswick, he mentioned only the manors of Clopton and Rush in Berkshire. The will was proved on 5 July 1541 on behalf of his executors, who were his wife Mary, Sir William Fitzwilliam I, Earl of Southampton, and Sir Anthony Browne. Kingston was succeeded by his son Anthony, then aged 21 and more.9
