'''DAUGHTER'S EXPLANATION'''

The bodies of [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] and his second wife, [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Lady Doyle]], which were recently exhumed from the grounds of the author's former home, Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex, are to be reinterred in Minstead Churchyard, in the New Forest, [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s daughter, Group Officer Jean Conan Doyle, W.R.A.F., said yesterday. She added that the reinterment would be in the near future.

[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] died in 1930 and [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Lady Doyle]] in 1940. Group Officer [[Dame Jean Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] explained at the weekend that her family had for several years considered that it would be better to move their bodies to some more permanent resting place, as they felt that eventually the garden would pass into other bands.

Yesterday she said, "Minstead was chosen because our family was for many years connected with the area. My father's book [[The White Company]] had the New Forest as a background and he was fond of that part of the country."

It became known a week ago that Windlesham was being offered for sale. A representative of the agents who are negotiating the sale explained on Saturday that the adjoining property. Windlesham Cottage, was not for sale. The author and [[Jean Elizabeth Leckie|Lady Doyle]] were buried in the grounds of the cottage near a small garden hut.
