A CARE home in Yeovil celebrated the birthday of one of Britain’s best-loved fantasy authors, JRR Tolkien, on January 3. Staff and residents at West Abbey Care Centre spent the day learning about the author - who is most famous for The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit - and reading extracts from his books. They discovered that Tolkien was a Professor of Anglo-Saxon and English Language and Literature at Oxford University from 1945 to 1959 and a close friend of CS Lewis. General manager, Caroline Carter, said: “We have had a fascinating day finding out all about Tolkien. “We read excerpts from his books and watched a film about his life and influences.

Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has given £600 to a historic Suffolk football club - to help the team buy much-needed new equipment.
Brantham Athletic Football Club was established in 1887 and currently has teams playing in the Thurlow Nunn Eastern Counties Premier Division, as well as in the Essex and Suffolk Border League.
Taylor Wimpey, which is making contributions to nearby community facilities ahead of its Stour View development, said the club was a much-loved local organisation worthy of extra support.
