More about this scene

This is not Isaac Newton's Woolsthorpe, but the village west of Grantham in rolling countryside right on the Leicestershire border; it has fine views of Belvoir Castle a mile away on its hill on the other side of the valley of the River Devon. Further up the road is the Victorian parish church, which replaced one of 1791 which itself replaced the medieval one, apparently burned down in the Civil War.
