Lambert's position as the heaviest person in recorded history was soon overtaken by the American Mills Darden (1799–1857), but Lambert had by now become a cult figure, and virtually every item connected with him was preserved for posterity.
O rexistro de Lambert como a persoa de maior peso corporal na historia rexistrada foi superado en pouco tempo polo estadounidense Mills Darden (1799–1857), pero para entón Lambert convertérase nunha figura de culto, e case tódolos obxectos que tiñan algunha conexión con el foron preservados para a posteridade.
