The mathematician
and physicist Albert Einstein stayed in a cottage at Roughton
in Norfolk during the 1930s, after he left Germany in the wake
of Adolf Hitler's rise to power.
His visit
to Norfolk was part of a tour of Europe before he settled in
the United States, where he was granted permanent residency
in 1935, taking up a position at the Institute for Advanced
Study in Princeton.

of the photoelectric effect.
