Support the campaign to save J.R.R. Tolkiens home and establish a literary centre. 20 Northmoor Road is his former home in Oxford where he wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

J.R.R. and Edith Tolkien moved into 20 Northmoor Road with their young family in 1930. Over the next 17 crucial years the house was the heart of the Tolkien home. It was here that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit, which he had begun as a bedtime story for his children, and followed that with another unexpected journey. That book became The Lord of the Rings.

There is no centre devoted to Tolkien studies anywhere in the world a remarkable fact considering the writers importance and continuing popularity. This is the perfect house to set this right.

If the house is secured for Tolkien fans, it will be renovated so that the guest can experience what it would have been like to call on the Professor in 1940. Upstairs the bedrooms would reflect the cultures he invented and the garden would be restored.
