From the BBC:
http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20210103-englands-sleepy-scientology-town"The sleepy Sussex market town of East Grinstead has gained a reputation in recent decades as a hotbed for offbeat religious activity. It has been described as Britain’s strangest town and the real-life answer to Twin Peaks."
It was the worldwide home of Scientology until 1967
"It’s not just Scientology making waves here, though. The mysterious Rosicrucians, a secret society that claims to guard a body of esoteric truths about the universe, maintain a palatial mock-Tudor lodge at nearby Greenwood Gate
Less unconventional, the British home of Mormonism lies a few miles north of East Grinstead at the impressive London England Temple, while Jehovah’s Witnesses and Christian Scientists have also set up shop in town."
