Most Famous Apple Tree in the World

Here it is, folks, the most famous apple tree in the world.  This apple tree, located near the entrance of Trinity College, is planted in the exact spot where the original apple tree stood when Isaac Newton observed the apple falling.   His window was the one to the left of the tree.  We pass it often...mainly because it's across the street from the Fudge Kitchen. :)

St. Bene't's church, named after St. Benedict, is the oldest building in "the whole of Cambridgeshire" (as they say around here) and is still holding services!  The Saxons(!) built it around 1025, and the church tower was the lookout for the Saxon rebel Hereward the Wake as he kept watch on the advancing Normans.   The ancient churchyard still stands at medieval ground level.  St. Bene't's is thought to be the birthplace of  'change ringing' (17th century), which is the system of sounding bells in an ever-changing, rhythmic pattern rather than an actual tune. 

Cambridge is considered the cradle of the English Reformation.  Robert Barnes, one of the scholars who met regularly at the White Horse Inn, preached the first Reformation sermon here at St. Edward's on Christmas Eve 1524.

The inside of St. Edward's looks today much as it would have when Barnes preached that first, now famous, sermon...
