The farm house of Isaac Newton and his tree.
All photographs are taken 31 December 2016 on my iPhone 5s at that time.

It States:
βWoolsthorpe Manor in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, is the birthplace and was the family home of Sir Isaac Newton. He was born there on 25 December 1642 (old calendar).
At that time, it was a yeoman's farmstead, principally rearing sheep.
Newton returned here in 1666 when Cambridge University closed due to the plague, and here, he performed many of his most famous experiments, most notably his work on light and optics. This is also said to be the site where Newton, observing an apple fall from a tree, was inspired to formulate his law of universal gravitation.β
βIsaac Newton recounted to his contemporary William Stukeley how an apple tree in the orchard inspired him to work on his law of universal gravitation.
Dendrochronology confirms one of the trees in the orchard to be over 400 years old, having regrown from roots surviving from a tree which blew down in 1820. It is attended by gardeners, secured with a fence, and cared for by National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.β
Let me show you the house and the tree now.

A plaque next to it:
It was so fascinating to wander around here. And know he walk these groundsβ¦. π
We also entered the house and saw how they lived in that time. There is a cafΓ© to get some warm drinks in the winter months and something to eat. βοΈπ°π₯ͺ
In the barn next to it, we could even interact and experiment with some science ourselves. β¨β¨β‘οΈβ‘οΈ
Fun for the whole family π even adults liked itβ¦ who visited without children.
