They went on to create the Lea & Perrins brand of Worcestershire sauce.[1] He lived in Lansdowne Crescent in the parish of Claines, and is buried in St John, Baptist Churchyard, Claines.

According to the 1896 Daily Chronicle, Lord Sandys frequently purchased Worcestershire sauce in India. He visited the Lea & Perrins pharmacy "to talk about the appetising sauce, and humorously suggested that he would like to share in the proceeds," who which Perrins complacently responded "that Lord Sandy might share in the profits if he would stand behind the counter and assist in the sale."Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
