What was the name of the Oxford school where J.R.R. Tolkien taught from 1925 to 1945?

J.R.R. Tolkien taught at Oxford’s Pembroke College from 1925 to 1945.

Tolkien joined Pembroke College when he became the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon. During those two decades, he taught Old English and related subjects while continuing his private work on the mythology that would eventually underpin The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

Pembroke is especially associated with the early development of Tolkien’s Middle-earth writings. He worked on The Hobbit there and began composing The Lord of the Rings during his Pembroke years. In 1945 he moved to Merton College, where he became Merton Professor of English Language and Literature. Biographies sometimes name Merton first because Tolkien spent his later Oxford career there, but Pembroke was his Oxford home from 1925 until the end of the Second World War.
