Later Life
Annie moved to London where she kept a flat in Portman Square. In 1933 she was made a Companion of Honour. Horniman and Algernon Blackwood may have been the only past or present members of an occult society to receive a United Kingdom honour. She died in 1937 at her home in Shere, Surrey. Her estate amounted to a little over £50,000. The Annie Horniman Papers are held in the John Rylands Library at the University of Manchester.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
