Glenn:

'''Wilfred Rowland Childe''' ([[1890]] - [[1952]]) was a British poet and critic. He was also a friend of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and godfather to his son [[Christopher Tolkien|Christopher]]. Like Tolkien, he was a Roman Catholic (having converted in 1916).

Childe was educated at [[wikipedia:Harrow School|Harrow School]] and [[wikipedia:Magdalen College, Oxford|Magdalen College, Oxford]]. In 1922, he joined the English School at the [[University of Leeds]], and became a colleague of Tolkien.

While at Oxford, Childe edited ''[[Oxford Poetry]]'' in 1916 and 1917, a publication to which also Tolkien contributed. And together with poetry by Tolkien, Childe's work was published in ''[[A Northern Venture]]'' and ''[[Leeds University Verse 1914-24]]''.

With Tolkien, Childe wrote a [https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000687/19230530/120/0004 letter on 30 May 1923] to the [[wikipedia:Leeds Intelligencer|Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer]] defending [https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/22161 Eric Gill's WW1 memorial], which depicted Christ driving the moneychangers from the Temple.
