Grave Location Description

As you enter the church yard take the path to the left and walk all way to the back of the cemetery towards the wooden split rail fence. Look for the second large tree from the left back corner and approximately 10 spaces from the fence (directly behind the church building) and then look for the large cross with the rounded base that marks the final rest place of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
