He was taken, by certain Parliamentary commissioners appointed to receive him, to one of his own houses, called Holmby House, near Althorpe, in Northamptonshire. While the Civil War was still in progress, John Pym died, and was buried with great honour in Westminster Abbey not with greater honour than he deserved, for the liberties of Englishmen owe a mighty debt to Pym and Hampden.

He devoted his time to receiving visitors, the bowling-green, and the chess-table.
