I've been looking at a new website which aims to list English Icons, and what's more, you can vote to say whether something is an English Icon or not. The list includes the usual suspects such as Stonehenge, Cups of Tea, psychopathic drivers of white vans (not really...

) etc. Of course I had to check if the list included Lord of the Rings, and it does!

And you can vote for it too, if you so wish!

Here's the website: Icons of England . I've kindly linked to the LOTR page.

So, what do we think? Is Lord of the Rings a truly English Icon?

Here's my thread from a while back asking if Tolkien really did write England's Mythology
