 Woolsthorpe Manor
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 can easily be found by driving along the A1 and exiting for Colsterworth, about half way between Grantham and Stamford.

 Isaac Newton Information - TextSheet.com
This is an exaggeration of Newton's own tale about sitting by the window of his home ( Woolsthorpe Manor) and watching an apple fall from a tree.
However it is now generally considered that even this story was invented by him in his later life, to try to show how clever he was at drawing inspiration from everyday events.
Tradition has it that Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head, and this made him understand that earthly and celestial gravitation are the same.
