Lying in the quiet churchyard of Sutton Courteney, George Orwell's grave brings visitors from all over the world. The masterful British writer changed the literary world with his novels and the Orwell Society make an annual pilgrimage to his grave each year on the Sunday nearest his birthday (25 June).

It's certainly worth nothing that his grave is marked with his real name: Eric Arthur Blair.
