Southwell is a small Georgian town built around Southwell Minster, the cathedral church of Nottinghamshire, its twin Norman towers rising over red-brick streets. This is also where the Bramley apple began: every Bramley in the world descends from a single tree grown in a Church Street garden from pips a girl named Mary Ann Brailsford planted around 1809, later named after the butcher who owned the cottage. On the edge of town the National Trust keeps The Workhouse, built in 1824 and the most complete surviving example in England. Fiskerton station is about 3.5km south-east.
