Save The Three Cups Hotel

The Three Cups Hotel

Campaigning for preservation of the hotel where J.R.R. Tolkien stayed and gained inspiration for his mythology. Jane Austen, G.K. Chesterton, Tennyson and H.W. Longfellow were also guests. The hotel featured in the film, “The French Lieutenant’s Woman”. Please send articles to me, Andrew Townsend, at afmt@btinternet.com or add a comment. Thanks to David Moss for all his work.

I live in the cottage where Whistler stayed and I am an artist! He signed his signature in the shape of a dragonfly and one day I found a perfectly dried dragonfly in a lampshade in the cottage. How about that then?
