Bexhill-on-Sea

Bexhill-on-Sea is a town in the county of East Sussex, in the south of England. The Anglo-Saxon name for the settlement was Bexelei from leah a glade, where box grows.

The town is the location of the De la Warr Pavilion, an early British example of modern architecture. Comedian Eddie Izzard spent part of his childhood years in Bexhill-on-Sea and Spike Milligan lived in the town for a time, as did James Bond actor (as 'Q') Desmond Llewelyn who lived in the town until his death in 1999.
