A short obituary appeared in the Sussex Advertiser (26 January 1864): 'We have to announce the death of Lord Arthur Lennox, son of the fourth Duke of Richmond, who expired on Friday last, at his residence, Ovington-square, Brompton, aged 57. The early part of his lordship's life was passed in the army, and in 1842 he received the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and afterwards held the same rank in the Light Infantry battalion of Sussex Militia, in which corps he became lieutenant-commandant in 1860. His lordship also held some posts under Government, having been a lord in the Treasury from May, 1844, to August, 1845, and a clerk of the Ordnance from August, 1845, to July, 1846. The late lord also sat for Chichester from 1831 to 1846, and was returned for Yarmouth in 1847, but was unseated on petition.'
