This small 17th century farmhouse was the birthplace and family home of Sir Isaac Newton. Some of his major work was formulated here, during the Plague years (1665-66). An early edition of his Principia Mathemathica, (published 1687), is on display. The orchard includes a descendant of the famous apple tree.
