76 Sandfield Road
From Tolkien Gateway
76 Sandfield Road in Headington was the home of J.R.R. Tolkien and Edith Tolkien from 30 March 1953 until mid-July 1968.[1] The volumes of The Lord of the Rings were first published while Tolkien lived in this house. Currently a plaque sits above the door stating that the Professor lived there once.
