Splendid theory! Well done!
Matches well with Letter #181 (from The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Edited by H. Carpenter, 1981) where after talking about his youth in being brought up in (Sarehole) a semi-rural village in Warwickshire, Tolkien adds:
“I take my models like anyone else - from such ‘life’ as I know.”
