On what date did C.S. Lewis die in Oxford, according to the Gregorian calendar?

C.S. Lewis died in Oxford on 22 November 1963, according to the Gregorian calendar.

Lewis died at his home, The Kilns, near Oxford, after years of declining health. He was 64. The date is notable because it was also the day on which U.S. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and the same date as the death of writers Aldous Huxley and John F. Kennedy’s death is frequently remembered in historical timelines.

Lewis’s death came shortly after his retirement from Cambridge. He had suffered serious health problems, including a heart attack in 1956 and kidney disease. His brother Warren later helped preserve and edit parts of his papers and published biographical material about him.

The date can appear differently in older records because Britain used the Gregorian calendar by the twentieth century, while some historical events are converted from older calendars. For Lewis, the standard English-language biographical date is 22 November 1963.
