Grantham

From Ely, we continued our relentess drive to the north, averaging 22 miles per day, getting as far as Grantham, where we parked for the night on a city street, outside a church. The next morning, Saturday, we went to the market, then toured Belten House, one of the great houses, nearby.
Sir Isaac Newton was born and schooled in Grantham.
I'll bet neither Fermi, nor Bohrs, nor Rutherford, nor any of those other guys has a
shopping center named after him. Mrs. Thatcher also was born in Grantham, and
her house is on display. But she does not have a shopping centre.
