Harington had an engraved armorial bookplate made, dated 1706 (Franks 13776), and describing himself as of Marshfield, Gloucestershire (the home of his mother's family; she was born Helena Gostlett). The extent and disposition of his library is not known, but he must have died shortly after the plate was made.
