In a People Magazine<\/a> exclusive, the campaign to purchase the Tolkien estate has officially launched! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Project<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lord of the Rings\u00a0stars\u00a0Sir Ian McKellen\u00a0and John Rhys-Davies are embarking on another epic adventure.<\/p>

Rather than crossing Middle Earth to battle the evil forces of Sauron, however, the British actors have joined a fellowship to save 20 Northmoor Road, the Oxford house in which J.R.R. Tolkien wrote\u00a0The Hobbit<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, in advance of it being put on the market by realtors\u00a0Breckon & Breckon.<\/p>

The initiative, called\u00a0Project Northmoor<\/a>, starts crowdfunding on December 2 and hopes to raise $6 million to purchase the home and create a literary center in honor of Tolkien. It is also supported by\u00a0The Hobbit\u00a0<\/em>star, Martin Freeman.<\/p>People.com 12\/2\/2020<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You may notice a familiar face in the campaign video. Yes, that is in fact TheOneRing.net’s very own Quickbeam – Clifford Broadway! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
