[edit] Improving the style of this list
1. Lord Falkland was not so much permitted to retain his seat as elected to be one of the hereditary peers who did.
2. Christopher Lee: there is no objective standard by which we can measure whether he is legendary or prolific.
3. Sebastian Faulks: who says that Birdsong and Charlotte Gray are his best known works?
4. John Nash: who says he is renowned? Anyway, he is renowned enough that we don't need to say that he is renowned.
5. George Orwell: who says he is legendary? That is a thoroughly subjective evaluation. And who says that 1984 and Animal Farm are his best works? "Best known" would have been less controversial, but still can't be said objectively. Some people might say that Down and Out in Paris and London is his best work, for example.
6. Charles Robert Ashbee: not "prime mover", but "a prime mover" or "one of the prime movers".
7. Nicholas Grimshaw: It may be obvious that he's prominent, but how does one judge prominence?
