Orwell rented the cottage known as 'The Stores' in Wallington between 1936 and 1947 although he sublet it from 1940 onwards. He ran a village shop from the front room to supplement his income. Whilst here, he wrote 'Coming up for air', 'Keep the Aspidistra Flying' and 'Homage to Catalonia' (following 6 months participating in the Spanish Civil War between December 1936 and June 1937). Although written in London in 1943/44, Manor Farm in the village is thought to have been the model for 'Animal Farm'. Orwell married his first wife in the parish church at Wallington in June 1936 with the wedding reception in the Plough Inn (next door to 'the Stores' and now a private residence).
