In 1950, Robson moved into Kiddington Hall.^[3] In later life, he used his money and organisational skills to save the National Liberal Club from closure.^[4] In 1981, he was created a Knight Commander of the Order of the Polar Star, and the following year he was knighted in the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours List.^[1]
