After an illness, Newman returned to England and lived at the Birmingham Oratory until his death, making occasional visits to London and chiefly to his old friend [[Richard William Church|R. W. Church]], now [[Dean of St Paul's]]. As a cardinal, Newman published nothing beyond a preface to a work by [[Arthur Wollaston Hutton]] on the Anglican ministry (1879) and an article, "On the Inspiration of Scripture", in ''The Nineteenth Century'' (February 1884).{{sfn|Hutton|1911|p=519}} In 1880, Newman confessed to an "extreme joy" that Conservative [[Benjamin Disraeli]] was no longer in power, and expressed the hope that Disraeli would be gone permanently.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Quinn | first1 = Dermot | title = Patronage and Piety: The Politics of English Roman Catholicism, 1850–1900 | date = 1993 | publisher = Stanford University Press | page = 204}}</ref>

From the latter half of 1886, Newman's health began to fail. He celebrated Mass for the last time on Christmas Day in 1889. On 11 August 1890<ref name=CEnc/> he died of [[pneumonia]] at the Birmingham Oratory. Eight days later his body was buried alongside Ambrose St. John in the cemetery at [[Rednal]] Hill, [[Birmingham]], at the country house of the oratory.

In accordance with his express wishes, Newman was buried in the grave of his lifelong friend [[Ambrose St. John]].<ref name=CEnc/> The pall over the coffin bore the motto that Newman adopted for use as a cardinal, ''Cor ad cor loquitur'' ("Heart speaks to heart"),<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.newmanfriendsinternational.org/newman/?p=123 | title = Cor ad cor loquitur: John Henry Newman's Coat of Arms | publisher = Newmanfriendsinternational.org | date = 2 July 2008 | access-date = 31 August 2013 |url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130325114254/http://www.newmanfriendsinternational.org/newman/?p=123 | archive-date = 25 March 2013}}</ref> which William Barry, writing in the ''[[Catholic Encyclopedia]]'' (1913), traces to [[Francis de Sales]] and sees as revealing the secret of Newman's "eloquence, unaffected, graceful, tender, and penetrating".<ref name=CEnc/> Ambrose St. John had become a Roman Catholic at around the same time as Newman, and the two men have a joint memorial stone inscribed with the motto Newman had chosen, ''Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem'' ("Out of shadows and phantasms into the truth"),<ref>{{cite web | first = <!--lead container name-->John Henry | last = Newman | url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/content/articles/2008/07/18/cardinal_newman_feature.shtml | title = Faith Features: John Henry Newman | publisher = Bbc.co.uk | date = 18 July 2008 | access-date = 31 August 2013 | archive-date = 25 September 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150925054902/http://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/content/articles/2008/07/18/cardinal_newman_feature.shtml | url-status = live }}</ref> which Barry traces to [[Plato's allegory of the cave]].<ref name=CEnc/>

On 27 February 1891, Newman's estate was probated at £4,206.
