Those two men being prime minister H.H.Asquith (who chose to be buried in his home village rather than Westminster Abbey as would have been his right) and George Orwell (buried under his real name, Eric Arthur Blair) who had no ties at all to Sutton Courtenay other than that his good friend (David Astor) arranged for him to be buried there.”
