One Hundred Buildings Of East Grinstead

East Grinstead has an architectural heritage spanning seven centuries. M.J. Leppards selection of one hundred of the towns buildings encompasses a diverse range of structures, from a boundary wall to a national treasure of the Arts and Crafts movement, and from what has been called an example of Gothic Revival architecture that no other country in Europe can equal to the local McDonalds. For many of them, this book marks the first time that their stories have been told. The historic heart of East Grinstead is rich in medieval and later timber-framed buildings, which are justification for the towns outstanding conservation area classification. Prominent modern structures include a futuristic house from the 1960s and a state-of-the-art museum which, at the time of writing, is still under construction.
