Grantham

Grantham is a Lincolnshire market town on the River Witham and the Great North Road. Its tall church spire rises above streets that long served travellers and the surrounding countryside. The town's grammar school educated local boys in Latin and Greek; among its pupils were William Cecil, later Elizabeth I's leading minister, and Isaac Newton, who attended from 1655 to 1660 before pursuing the studies that made him famous.
