The History of Newton' S Apple Tree
Contemporary Physics, 1998, volume 39, number 5, pages 377 ± 391 The history of Newton’s apple tree (Being an investigation of the story of Newton and the apple and the history of Newton’s apple tree and its propagation from the time of Newton to the present day) R. G. KEESING This article contains a brief introduction to Newton’s early life to put into context the subsequent events in this narrative. It is followed by a summary of accounts of Newton’s famous story of his discovery of universal gravitation which was occasioned by the fall of an apple in the year 1665/6. Evidence of Newton’s friendship with a prosperous Yorkshire family who planted an apple tree arbour in the early years of the eighteenth century to celebrate his discovery is presented. A considerable amount of new and unpublished pictorial and documentary material is included relating to a particular apple tree which grew in the garden of Woolsthorpe Manor (Newton’s birthplace) and which blew down in a storm before the year 1816. Evidence is then presented which describes how this tree was chosen to be the focus of Newton’s account. Details of the propagation of the apple tree growing in the garden at Woolsthorpe in the early part of the last century are then discussed, and the results of a dendrochronological study of two of these trees is presented. It is then pointed out that there is considerable evidence to show that the apple tree presently growing at Woolsthorpe and known as `Newton’s apple tree’ is in fact the same specimen which was identi®ed in the middle of the eighteenth century and which may now be 350 years old. -

Stoke Rochford Hall a Short History
Stoke Rochford Hall A Short History Principally prepared by the late Terence R Leach Vice Chairman of the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology Stoke Rochford Hall A Short History Stoke Rochford has been the location for a series of noble houses. There was a Roman Villa here and in the 14th century the Nevilles had a house here. This was followed by a 15th century house belonging to the Rochfords and a 16th century one owned by the Coneys. Around the year 1665 Sir Edmund Turnor built the first Turnor house here. This was an L shaped building with rows of mullioned windows. It was a grand but conservative building and stood near the present bridge, by the lake. The stables were apparently built in 1676, and their re-erected stone frontispieces still stand in the park. One is dated 1676, and the other 1704 - a later inscription apparently accounting for the discrepancy in dates. Sir Edmund Turnor's house was taken down in 1774. In 1794 the Turnors built once more at Stoke: this time the house was smaller. The building was demolished in the 1840's, when the present house was built. It stood on the east bank of the brook. In the 1840's when Christopher Turnor (1809-1886) decided to rebuild, the family fortune was considerable. Turnor succeeded his father in 1829 when he was only 20 years old. He eventually owned 20,664 acres in Lincolnshire, with a rental of some £27,000. In 1839 Christopher Turnor asked architect William Burn for sketch plans for Stoke Rochford Hall. -

AGRICULTURE POSITION of AGRICULTURE on the OUTBREAK of WAR Lincolnshire Had a Higher Than Average Dependence on Agriculture, A
6. Agriculture AGRICULTURE POSITION OF AGRICULTURE ON THE OUTBREAK OF WAR Lincolnshire had a higher than average dependence on agriculture, a large agricultural population and few large towns or alternative employment.1 However, farming was a low-paid occupation. In 1907 the average weekly wage of an unskilled farm labourer was 15s 4d. Therefore poverty was usual and pauperism not infrequent. Hours averaged 58 per week, and could be longer. On 1 August 1914 Frederick Walker of Nettleham Heath, a farmer who served in the Lincolnshire Imperial Yeomanry, raised his men’s wages to 3s a day.2 Attitudes towards agricultural labourers were patronising. Prizes given at Agricultural Shows to labourers who had the greatest number of children without receiving parochial relief, were less than those awarded for a group of plants. Rev. Richard Lawson Gales, Vicar of Gedney, from 1909-27 said that Lincolnshire villages were ‘sleepy’ because the people were underfed, underpaid and poorly housed.3 To be free from worry of poverty a working class family needed a regular income of about 40s a week. Many semi-skilled men in agricultural engineering earned only 23s – 25s a week, and could be laid off when times were hard.4 These workers probably had more incentive to enlist than other groups.5 Pre-war agriculture operated on the landowner, tenant-farmer and labourer system and was essentially a livestock industry typified by W.R. Caudwell of Holbeach Marsh, a breeder of the famous Lincolnshire Red cattle. Farming was also a declining industry; between 1851 and 1911 agricultural labourers and farm servants in England and Wales had fallen from 1,097,794 to 622,279 males and from 143,147 to 13,214 females.
