Woolsthorpe Manor was the birthplace of Isaac Newton, although he also returned here during the plague when the University of Cambridge was closed. Many of his optics experiments were carried out here, and the infamous apple tree was found in this garden. Whilst the original tree has long since died, part of it rerooted and forms the tree surrounded by the fence here. A plaque below the tree describes this as one of 50 Great British Trees.
