The name of our historic home, Rivendell, comes from JR Tolkien. Tolkien described Rivendell as a place where: -the virtue of the land was that soon all fear and anxiety was lifted from minds. The future, good or ill, was not forgotten, but ceased to have any power over the present. Health and hope grew strong and all were content with each good day as it came, taking pleasure in every meal and in every word and song -
