100 Years of Crowborough

In 1905 the civic parish of Crowborough, East Sussex, was carved out of the parish of Rotherfield. In 2005 Crowborough will celebrate its first centenary as a town.

Crowborough100 was created by Crowborough Town Council to co-ordinate and facilitate events in the town during 2005. It is the wish of Crowborough100 that everyone becomes involved in the centenary. We invite all clubs, societies, schools, places of worship and businesses to become involved.
