Family and Friends Reunion 2016

On 31st March 2016, Jonathan, now the current and 3rd Viscount Rochdale, held a reunion for family and friends at their old family home, Lingholm, Keswick, Cumbria.

The party was a remarkable success, with about 75 guests attending, including many families, estate specialists, and individual artisans who had been instrumental in helping the Kemp family run the estate over the years.
