How many places has J.R.R Tolkien lived?

JRR Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. His parents were British and had gone there for his father's work with a bank. He came to England as a young child and lived there for the rest of his life. He spent his childhood in Warwickshire then went to Oxford University. He spent most of his adult life in Oxford apart from when he was in the army during WW1 and short spell in Yorkshire in the 1920s.
