Retirement
After further business posts, Nicolson largely retired in 1992 to Bale, near Fakenham in Norfolk. He led an appeal that year which led to the building of the Canadian War Memorial in Green Park, but he had few hobbies and did not enjoy the life of a retired businessman. In 1996 he died after suffering a stroke while attending the funeral of an old friend.
