About Woolsthorpe Manor

Woolsthorpe Manor stands in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, near Grantham in Lincolnshire. It was the birthplace and family home of Sir Isaac Newton, one of the most influential scientists in history. Visiting gives a chance to see the modest rural setting where one of the great figures of science grew up, far from the universities and cities where his later work became famous.

In the orchard within the grounds grows Newton's famous apple tree, linked to the story of his thinking on gravity. The house is a Grade I listed building, now owned by the National Trust and open to the public. It makes a fascinating stop for science fans.
