[edit] Don't borrow copyrighted text
The recently added text seems to have been taken from crowborough.info, and so is probably copyrighted. I have therefore removed it. If the copyright owner allows it to be used on Wikipedia, then please note that here, and restore the text. (A {{copyvio}} notice might have resulted in deletion of the whole article, which is why I'm going about it this way.) --Stemonitis 08:13, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] AMORC
Where is the source for this claim: "Also home of the English Grand Lodge for Europe and Africa of the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC."? --Anon
Here on amorc.org.uk I suppose. I've lived here for years though I and I'd never heard of them. --Rup 23:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Can a PO Box qualify as a "home"?
Agree with above -- AMORC entry should be deleted.
Lived in Crowborough for several years and had family there until recently. The English Grand Lodge for Europe and Africa of the Rosicrucian Order was located out in an area called Friars Gate when I used to deliver mail to them as a Royal Mail postman. Whether they're still there I have no idea. Additionally the Finnart House complex -which was once a school- became a Scientologist HQ ...again perhaps temporarily.
[edit] Hills of East Sussex
I also cannot understand why it should be categorised under Hills of East Sussex? Ok the town is at the top of a hill, but there is no mention in the article of it being itself a hill! Please explain Peter Shearan 14:48, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
I didn't do it, but Crowborough is notable for being one of the highest points in East Sussex so we should mention that. I'll dig out an O/S map sometime and find a height. Yes, there's one on crowborough.info but we should find our own :-) --Rup 23:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
- The town is on the summit of a Marilyn, making it notable to the hillbagging community. I'll add some iunfo on this to the article. Grinner 10:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Twinning
I'm in Horwich, you're twinned with us! Woo! ...how do towns choose who to twin with? TR_Wolf
