Funeral services for Orwell were held in Christ Church on Albany Street on January 26, 1950. The church itself is not particularly beautiful; it is rather ill-proportioned, with a massive doorway and fort-like masonry walls topped by a graceful tower that looks like it is struggling to overcome the plainness of its foundation. Orwell was not buried in here, but rather at All Saints in Sutton Courenay, Oxfordshire, "in a country churchyard" as ordered in his will.
