I discovered the surname "Gloin" on a headstone at the local cemetary.
What really surprised me was that I had never noticed it before since it it an older stone next to the footpath and although I only walk through that way nowadays if I am leaving the car at the garage for it's MOT or something, the graveyard is right next to my old school so I must have walked past it nearly every day for 5 years in the first height of my Tolkien addiction ...
