Was J.R.R. Tolkien really a teacher at The Oratory? He may have stayed there but I don't think he taught there. DavidFarmbrough 08:30, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Nobody has commented in two weeks, so I will remove the reference to JRR as a former master. DavidFarmbrough 14:39, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
His son was a housemaster and he certainly stayed there, tradition has it that he wrote some of the Lord of the Rings there, but he was not a master. Westminsterboy 16:10, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
I have removed the reference to Tolkien writing parts of The Hobbit at Woodcote as it was published in 1937 and the school only moved there in 1942, and made it clear that it was his son who taught there.--Westminsterboy 06:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
