Stow-on-the-Wold

It is said that the side door of St Edward’s church in Stow-on-the-Wold and the two trees next to it were an inspiration for Tolkien’s door of Moria, so I had to see it for myself. And I wasn’t the only one. There were many Tolkien fans stopping by, including a couple who dressed their dog up to take some thematic photos.


The inside of the door and the church


Unfortunately, while the town center has some interesting old buildings, besides the church there is nothing much to see in Stow.


The second biggest "attraction" after the church is just an ancient well located a short (10 min) walk out of the village.


And here is just a building from Chipping Norton at which I changed busses from Oxford to Stow.

About us

A page for all Tolkien lovers.

​

We used to run a fan page of the same name on Facebook since 2015 and on Instagram since 2018. Due to the policy changes on those platforms, we decided to move elsewhere. So here we are! You can also find us on MeWe.

The admins are two ladies from Central and South Europe. One of them researches Tolkien’s work academically. So you can expect to find here shared a wide range of contents, from fan art and Tolkienesque crafts, through the professor’s own art and lore, to serious academic insights on his work... anything appreciative of J. R. R. Tolkien’s creation. 

Enjoy!
