George Orwell's (Eric Arthur Blair) grave is magical to me. What a writer, what a guy, what a prophet!

To quote Bill Bryson (in his book "Notes from a Small Island")"How remarkable it is that in a single village churchyard you find the graves of two men of global stature." 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.

The Church of All Saints, Sutton Courtenay is the Church of England parish church of Sutton Courtenay, England (which lies in the traditional county of Berkshire, but since 1974 has been administered as if part of Oxfordshire). Extant since at least the 12th century, the church has been Grade I listed since 1966. It is in the centre of the village, near the northeast corner of the village green. The nave and lower stages of the west tower are late Norman. The font is also Norman, but decorated with a series of pointed arches. The chancel and third stage of the tower are 13th-century. The nave clerestory, north and south aisles and their four-bay arcades are 14th-century additions. The clerestory has five windows on each side. Most are Perpendicular Gothic, but two on the north side are Decorated Gothic. The two-storey brick south porch is early 16th-century. The panelled south door is oak, dating from the same period. The west tower has a ring of eight bells, ranging in weight from three to 12 hundredweight, and tuned to F major. Richard Keene of Woodstock, Oxfordshire cast the sixth and seventh bells in 1675. Thomas Swain of Longford, Middlesex cast the fourth bell in 1775. Robert II Wells of Aldbourne, Wiltshire cast the third bell in 1787. Robert Taylor cast the fifth bell at his then Oxford foundry in 1829. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry recast the tenor bell in 1965. There were only six bells in the ring until 1986, when the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the present treble and second bells.

I was delighted to find All Saints' open for contemplation during lockdown. A beautiful 12th Century church in the middle of the charming village of Sutton Courtenay. I have awarded 4 rather 5 stars as there are better churches. However, this one is pretty, pretty good - an archetypal English village church.

Lovely church. Is open every day . Having a major extension added. Going to look amazing. Parking is limited. But some spaces within walking distance of the church
