Cole's Park and Cole's Road in Fraser Town, Bangalore are named after him. He was also influential in the construction of an Anglican church, St. Bartholomew's Church, in Mysore. He was elected as Member of Parliament for the Conservative Party in an 1828 by-election, following the resignation of his brother-in-law Richard Magenis.

He was succeeded by his nephew Henry Arthur Cole. (en)
