Forest Row
Forest Row is a town and also relatively large civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The village is located three miles (5 km) south-east of East Grinstead. A selecting ward in the same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The village attracts its name from its proximity to the Ashdown Forest, a royal hunting park very first enclosed in the 13th century. From its beginnings as a little hamlet, Forest Row has expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also later with the opening of the railway between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, that included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the program of closures put forward by East Grinstead homeowner and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
