In 1900 he married Stella D Phillp, producing a son, Brocas Linwood, in 1902 and a daughter, Barbara Grace de Riemer (the children's writer Barbara Sleigh), in 1906. The marriage dissolved in about 1914.
Sleigh retired to Chipping Campden in 1937, like his mentor Arthur Gaskin, moving into Old Forge Cottage in Cider Mill Lane. His imagery by then had turned from romantic medievalism to a world peopled by fairies and elves.

Famous quotes containing the word retirement:
“Douglas. Now remains a sweet reversion—
We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
A comfort of retirement lives in this.
Hotspur. A rendezvous, a home to fly unto.”
