Brief description

"LONG DENE was an extraordinary community and school that lasted from 1939 until 1954. Fifteen or so years – but what a lasting impression it made on all those who lived there and went to school there! Decades after the school closed, ex-students and staff, known as Old Denizens, would still get together twice a year – and a small group still does.

John Christopher Guinness (1906-1978) and his wife Karis MacKenzie Guinness (1911-2006) were the founders and directors of the school and the larger community associated with it. In 1944, five years into their “intentional community,” John wrote vividly about their ideas in an article published in Sport and Country, a magazine in UK – “COMMUNITY ADVENTURE: THE STORY OF LONG DENE SCHOOL.” "
