-> This talk will also take place on 23 February

History, myth and language combine to explore how, why and where The Lord of the Rings story began.

Find out about the links between Tolkien and the Anglo-Saxon world on a guided tour.

After a break to explore the village and museum, enjoy a lavishly illustrated talk on Tolkien’s original inspiration for Middle Earth. Find out how this vision was developed on the film set in New Zealand and the widely acclaimed fan film about Aragorn’s family set in West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village. The session includes a chance to see and handle some replicas from the films.

This is part of a series entitled ‘Our Story’.
