Sutton Courtenay is a very pretty village and civil parish on the River Thames, conveniently placed just 2 miles south of Abingdon and 3 miles north west of Didcot, with excellent transport connections.
The village is steeped in history, home to three very historic domestic buildings – the Manor House, Norman Hall and The Abbey, and has seen some famous residents in it’s time, including the First World War Prime Minister Lord Asquith. The writer George Orwell is also laid to rest in the Church Yard.
