Twining expanded his business and bought Dial House in Twickenham, which remained in the family for generations. After his death, his son Daniel inherited the business. Twining's legacy endures, with the company still thriving today. He is buried at St Mary's Church, Twickenham. and William Twining (17901835) was a British military surgeon who worked in the Indian Subcontinent.
