Sherlockians and Doyleans, many in costume, gathered in London's Trafalgar Square on April 21 to draw attention to the threat facing Undershaw, the house Arthur Conan Doyle built in Hindhead, Surrey. He lived there from 1896 to 1907 and wrote some of his most successful books there. For much of the past century the house served as a small hotel, but it is now in the hands of a developer, and heritage campaigners fear the worst. A judicial review of the house's planning status is planned in May 2012.
