All Saints' Church, Sutton Courtenay All Saints Church has a 12th century tower but the rest of the building dates from 13th-16th century. During the Civil War, the vicar of Sutton, a staunch parliamentarian, kept stores of powder and ammunition in the church - King Charles was of course not far away at Oxford. In 1643 the whole lot unfortunately exploded, shattered the glass in the windows and damaged the tower. The graves of former statesman Herbert Asquith and author George Orwell are in the churchyard. Asquith's second wife brought the family to Sutton Courtenay, buying the Wharf in 1912 and converting its barn. George Orwell was not a parishioner but wished to be buried in a country churchyard!

Period cottages in Sutton Courtenay Sutton Courtenay is a largish straggling village on the south side of the River Thames. Whilst the extreme south of the village has nothing visually to commend it at all, being mainly unattractive mid-20th century housing, as you travel north along High Street towards the centre of the village it is definitely more attractive with a mixture of period buldings and more expensive modern houses This picture appears in the following picture tours: Camera Make: Canon Model: Canon DIGITAL IXUS 40 |
