	Woolsthorpe Manor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire, England, was the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton on December 25, 1642 (old calendar).
		Woolsthorpe (by Colsterworth) has grown from a hamlet of several houses in the 17th century to a small village of several hundred houses today; much of the original land once owned by Woolsthorpe Manor was sold to a nearby family, and some of the immediate open land has since been built upon.
		Woolsthorpe Manor is approximately 100 miles north of London and can only realistically be reached by car (or by taxi from Grantham railway station, 10 miles to the north).

		It was at Woolsthorpe Manor that Isaac Newton formulated three great discoveries - the principle of differential calculus, the composition of white light and the law of gravitation.
		Woolsthorpe, with its simple T-shaped plan and mullioned windows, is a typical early-17th century manor house.
		Woolsthorpe Manor was transferred to National Trust in 1943 by the Royal Society and the Pilgrim Trust who provided funds for its repair.

		Among these were a windmill powered by a treadmill run by a mouse - the latter urged on by tugs on a string tied to its tail - dolls' furniture for the girls at Newton's school, and a little four-wheeled vehicle for himself, which ran by crank, which he could turn while sitting in it.
		Newton took his studies on impact a step further, and used them to show that the earth's rotation does not fling bodies into the air because the force of gravity, measured by the rate of falling bodies, is greater than the centrifugal force arising from the rotation.
		While his two-year hiatus at Woolsthorpe was a time of intense concentration on his work, his results were not of divine revelation, but rather the culmination of years of thought.

		In 1669, at the age of twenty‑six, he was elected to the Lucasian Chair of mathematics.
		The falling apple that sparked off his theory of universal gravitation is said to have come from one of the trees in the Woolsthorpe orchard.
		Between 1665 and 1667 he developed the method of fluxions (the calculus, as we now call it), carried out most of his experimental work on the nature and properties of light, and laid the foundations of the universal mechanics in which he synthesized the terrestrial science of Galileo with the planetary theory of Kepler.

		n 1666, as tradition has it, Newton observed the fall of an apple in his garden at Woolsthorpe, later recalling, 'In the same year I began to think of gravity extending to the orb of the Moon.' Newton's memory was not accurate.
		To be sure, Newton's early thoughts on gravity began in Woolsthorpe, but at the time of his famous 'moon test' Newton had yet to arrive at the concept of gravitational attraction.

		The line of the canal was severed by a railway embankment at Woolsthorpe, locks fell derelict (with concrete wiers installed to control the water levels) and many hump-backed canal bridges were replaced by concrete pipe culverts with flattened decks.
		The Grantham Canal Restoration Society was formed in the early seventies and in colaboration with British Waterways, the Inland Waterways Association and the Waterways Recovery Group, began the long road to full restoration.
		Early successes were the award winning slipway at Denton, the removal of the railway embankment at Woolsthorpe and the restoration of the top three locks of the Woolsthorpe flight.

		But it was soon evident that his interests were not in farming, and upon the advice of his uncle, the rector of Burton Coggles, he was sent to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in 1661 as one of the boys who performed menial services in return for their expenses.
