Background
Swinnerton lived for more than fifty years in Old Tokefield, Cranleigh, Surrey, a rural spot not far from London. He died there at the age of 98. His obituary notice in The Times began by noting that his death breaks one of the last links with his great contemporaries, Wells, Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett.
