The house where JRR Tolkien By hobbit wrote, is for sale. Writer Julia Golding is trying, with the help of some famous actors, to raise 5 million euros.

It is a spacious Oxford villa, with seven bedrooms and a large garden. Tolkien lived there from 1930 to 1947, the period in which he lived By hobbit and a good chunk of it Under the spell of the ring wrote, with his wife and four children.
Writer Julia Golding has founded a non-profit organization, Project Northmoor, through which she wants to buy the home from the current owners. It turns out that it is legally impossible to make it a museum accessible to everyone. That is why we have opted for a center where cultural events and courses are given. According to Golding, nowhere in the world is there a center for Tolkien study. The house and garden would be restored to their original state.

Project Northmoor has received the support of a number of actors who played in the Lord of the rings- in HobbitMovies: Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Martin Freeman (Bilbo) and John Rhys-Davies (Gimli). They all contributed to a video on the Project Northmoor website, which also features Derek Jacobi and Annie Lennox.
