Is Tolkien buried with his wife? What about Joy Gresham?
In 1994, I made my pilgrmage to Oxford and saw the Eagle and Child, etc.
Best, I visited the Kilns. Only one caretaker was there, and I helped him for an afternoon in the garden, which was in a state of disrepair at the time.
How many can say they gardened at the Kilns? Ah, fine memories...
@Chris - yes, Tolkien is buried with his wife (Beren and Luthien, it says on the grave stone) - But Jack Lewis with his brother, and I don't know where Joy is buried.
I visited the Kilns too, which was memorable - also very neat nowadays, thanks to people like yourself!

Oh how I miss that Green and Pleasant Land.
Well: the Green and Pleasant bits, anyway.
May they be blessed by God.

I often walk to this church (Helsingin pitäjän kirkko) and it's park like graveyard:
