Norman Power
From Tolkien Gateway
Canon[note 1] Norman Sandiford Power (b. 1916) received his B.A. at Worcester College, Oxford, in 1938. He went on to be associated with the parish of Ladywood in Birmingham.[1]
Power attended J.R.R. Tolkien's invitational speech at the Lovelace Society in 1938.[2]
By the end of the life of Tolkien, they renewed their contact (at least one letter is recorded, see Letter to Norman Power[3]):
- "How strange that I had no further contact with Tolkien until the nineteen-seventies when I had already been Vicar of Ladywood for over twenty years. Tolkien began to write to me about his old homes, and then, with amazing kindness, about my own scribbling."
