Richard was also made custodian of the castles at Bamburgh and Newcastle-on-Tyne. In 1238 he was made Constable of Kenilworth and in the following year Sheriff of Essex and Hertford and Constable of the Tower of London, where he was responsible for storing money and goods of the order of Cluny for the King.
