He moved to Armagh and spent his personal wealth on improving the area. He built Armagh Observatory, Classical School and the new Archbishop's House and carried out repairs to Saint Patrick's Cathedral (Church of Ireland). He also built parish churches at Lisnadill, Newtownhamilton, Ballymakenny and Clonmore. Archbishop Robinson died in 1794 and was buried in Armagh Cathedral.
