It's quite an industry these days. When I lived in Warwick and worked for the literary festival there we milked a fairly vague connection (he was married in the town) for a Tolkien Day.

Kortirion among the Trees: the Influence of Warwick on JRR Tolkien's vision of Middle-earth, an essay - The Tolkien Society
Long article but Di might find it interesting if she likes Tolkien - which I don't
I do like Tolkein - not always easy reading but an incredibly fertile mind.

Didn't realise the old bridge was called Cromwell's bridge, sat on it once for a picnic with my friend Jacqui when we were walking over to Stonyhurst from Gt Harwood (Edge End) to see our boyfriends!
