Tolkien's Oxford Two

Here is the Eagle and Child (also known as the Bird and Baby) where the Inklings met every Tuesday for years.



Sometimes the Inklings would meet in C.S. Lewis' rooms at Magdelan College.



When Tolkien lived in the city of Oxford he attended the St. Aloysuis Catholic church.



This is Tolkien's favorite tree. It is a black pine that towers in a corner of the Oxford Botanical Garden.



Tolkien was buried in the same place as his wife Edith, who had died several years earlier. He had their favorite nicknames for each other from the Silmarilian put on the tombstone.
