Frant is a village and civil parish in the Wealden District of East Sussex, England. It is located on the Kentish border, about three miles (5 km) south of Tunbridge Wells. The settlements of Bells Yew Green and Eridge are both located within the parish. When the Wealden iron industry was at its height, much of the village was owned by ironmasters. Smuggling occurred here in the 17th and 18th centuries; and one of the turnpike roads (now the A267) came through here at that time. Frant church is dedicated to St Alban; and there is a church school.[5] St Alban's Frant was a major surveying point for the Anglo-French Survey (1784–1790) calculating the precise distance and relationship between the Paris Observatory and the Royal Greenwich Observatory, undertaken by General William Roy. There are three public houses in the parish: The Abergavenny Arms on the A267 in Frant; and The George Inn in the High Street with The Brecknock Arms at Bells Yew Green.
