More about this scene

This is the village centre. The main change is that the large tree has been replaced by a pub sign, which now forms the centrepiece of a large round traffic island incorporating an attractive floral feature. The houses to the right have also been replaced by those of a more modern design. There are two Woolsthorpes in Lincolnshire, and they are not far apart. This one nestles under the shadow of Belvoir Castle; the other is the one with the Sir Isaac Newton connections, and is situated near Colsterworth.
