Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died at his home "Windlesham" in Crowborough, Sussex, on 7 July 1930. He was first buried in the rose garden of Windlesham. When "His Beloved, His Wife" Jean died in 1940 he was reinterred to rest with her, "reunited", in the Minstead churchyard of Hampshire, England. His grave memorial in part reads "Steel True, Blade Straight, Arthur Conan Doyle, Knight, Patriot, Physician, & Man of Letters."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle will always be best remembered as the creator of the cynical, deductive reasoning Sherlock Holmes but in his later years, he became a proponent of Spiritualism. His conversion lost him many friends, earned him much criticism and some cruel quarters even spread that word that Conan Doyle had gone senile. The Cottingley Fairies affair seemed to be proof of this.
