Canon[note 1] Norman Sandiford Power (31 October 1916 - May 1993) received his B.A. at Worcester College, Oxford, in 1938. He went on to be associated with the parish of Ladywood in Birmingham.[1]
Power attended J.R.R. Tolkien's invitational speech at the Lovelace Society in 1938.[2]
By the end of the life of Tolkien, they renewed their contact (at least one letter is recorded, see Letter to Norman Power[3]):
