 Grantham
|
|
| Grantham,
on the border with Leicestershire, a town with its roots in
the old stagecoach route from London. Once a major railway junction.
There are still several coaching inns, including the famous
Beehive Inn at Castlegate, it has a real beehive as its sign,
and the Angel Inn, where King Richard III signed the death
warrant of the Duke of Buckingham in 1483.
Famous as Isaac Newton
went to school here, as did Lady Margaret Thatcher, probably
the most famous of recent English Prime Ministers.
