Default Can you name this cricket ground?

Named after the family name of the Marquess of Abergavenny
First used by its county in 1901
Notable for the purple blooms on the rhodedendrons surrounding the perimeter
The bowling ends are The Pavilion End and The Railway End
One stand is called The Bluemantles Stand
Hosted one ODI, a World Cup match fondly remembered by Indians

What is this ground called, and where is it situated?
Edit: As some people have found this a little easy, tell me what incident, the first of its kind in England, happened there in 1995?

The Neville Ground.

Situated In Tunbridge Wells, it was described by The Sunday Times as the most beautiful ground in England.

The ground also hosts a week of county cricket every June which is attended by me with my portable table and chairs where Mr Pimm and I enjoy a delicious lunch washed down with a St Emillion.

A good days play is sometimes celebrated with a pint outside The Duke of York on The Pantiles on the way home.

Like everyone has already said it's the Nevill Ground.

1995? Hmmm I have no idea. But in 1996 during a match between Kent and Sussex a drugs test on one of the Sussex players resulted in a positive test. This led to the first ban arising from a positive test in the history of English cricket.
