Most folks know JRRT was raised by a priest from the local Birmingham Oratory, the same place where Cardinal Newman resided years earlier. (Newman is now up for sainthood.)

A Tolkien great nephew will be making Cardinal Newman's statue for the Pope's visit.
TimTolkien is most famous for his Sentinel Sculpture of Spitfires...

TORN also links to a 1968 BBC interview of JRRT by John Izzard.
Now, if only someone would post it on Youtube so I can download it and watch it without interruptions by a bad internet connection.
