East Grinstead

East Grinstead is a town in the northeastern corner of West Sussex in England near the East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent borders, a few miles from Ashdown Forest. The town is within commuting distance of London via road and the East Grinstead railway station and is close to the shopping centers of Crawley and Tunbridge Wells, as well as the residential areas of Forest Row and Ashurst Wood, and Gatwick Airport.

East Grinstead in fiction

East Grinstead is the destination of the adulterous lovers Norman and Annie in Alan Ayckbourn's trilogy of plays entitled The Norman Conquests. It was chosen because of the dubious impression that no reasonable person would consider vacationing there and therefore they would not be discovered. In the 1978 film version of the trilogy, Norman and Annie were portrayed by Tom Conti and Penelope Wilton.
