Orwell’s British resting place (5)

I believe the answer is:

blair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'orwell's' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'british resting place' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'resting place' becomes 'lair' (I've seen this in another clue).
'b'+'lair'='BLAIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blair that I've seen before include "Former PM" , "Formerly premier" , "5,27 [PRIME MINISTER]" , "See 3" , "Major's successor as PM" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
