Uncle of J. R. R. Tolkien, John Benjamin Tolkien (1845-1883; I call him "John Benjamin Tolkien IV"): sports journalist, musician, sailor and freemason (Senior Warden in the Lodge of Perseverance in Halesowen), who passed on the tradition of the Tolkien coat-of-arms. He was a half-brother of Arthur Reuel Tolkien. He is buried in Camberwell, London (Camberwell Old Cemetery), in a private tomb (with wife and daughter), in an unconsecrated earth (because he was not a member of the Anglican Church). I have a plan but I don't have a photo of the grave. And there may be interesting information in the epitaph. Maybe even the coat-of-arms! How to get there? The grave is by ... Underhill Road, Camberwell, London. I can provide you with additional information. Maybe one of you in London could take a picture of this grave's epitaph? This John Benjamin Tolkien was last of these names in the family (next John was John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and then his son John Francis Reuel Tolkien, a Catholic priest, so the tradition has been broken...)
