Bertram Robinson


Went to Jesus College Cambridge. Author, "contributed" to Sherlock Holmes novels. Exhumation requested in 2005.
Did Conan Doyle even write The Hound of the Baskervilles? How much of an influence was his old friend, Bertram Fletcher Robinson, who lived in Ipplepen and first told him about the legend of the Dartmoor hound? When the story was published in book form in 1902, Conan Doyle included an acknowledgement to Fletcher Robinson for telling him of the hound legend. But it went no further than that.

St. Andrews Church, Ipplepen.
