He died on 19 July 1493. His will dated 20 March 1492, in which he asked to be buried at Tenterden, was proved on 25 August 1493.

Elizabeth Guildford, who married Henry Aucher, of Lossenham in Newenden. Thomasine Guildford, who married John Engham, of Great Chart. Bennet Guildford, who married (1) James Isaac, (2) Lewin Clifford, and (3) an untraced husband whose last name was Boys, from Sevington. Juliana Guildford, who married William Warner, of Sheppey. Joan Guildford, who married John Isaac, of Sevington.

In about 1473, he married Philippa Thornbury, widow of John Pympe (died 1454), and of William Tyrell (died about 1471), who was the daughter of John Thornbury and his wife Anne Thorleigh.

His third wife, who survived him, was named Elizabeth.
