I have lived in Ealing for 39 years, and in our present home in South Ealing for 34 years, but I never knew until very recently that Margot Fonteyn lived near here, or that Agatha Christie\u2019s parents are buried in our local cemetery. I didn\u2019t know that Spencer Walpole, who was Home Secretary under three different Tory governments in the mid-19th<\/sup> century, is also buried there<\/span><\/strong>; nor that a local church, less than a mile from our house, is dedicated to his father-in-law, Spencer Perceval, the only British Prime Minister to be assassinated.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
