Parish History
BOOTHBY-PAGNELL (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union of Grantham, wapentake of Winnibrigs and Threo, parts of Kesteven, county of Lincoln, 5¼ miles (N. N. W.) from Corby.

Boothby Pagnell St Andrew is an Ancient Parish in the Diocese of Lincoln. The ecclesiastical parish spelling differs from the civil parish for the village which for local and national government purposes is Boothby Pagnall and appears as such on Ordnance Survey maps.

Although Sir Isaac Newton's uncle William Ayscough, the brother of Hannah Ayscough, was vicar of nearby Burton Coggles, during his time of discovery in 1666-7, Newton spent some time in the summer at the rectory of Boothby Pagnell, which had a considerable orchard. It is unknown whether Newton saw the apple fall at Boothby Pagnell or Woolsthorpe with Stainworth, Lincolnshire.

The vicar was the Trinity College Fellow Humphrey Babington, the brother of Katherine Babington. She was a friend of Hannah Ayscough and the wife of William Clark, the owner of the house at which Newton lodged in Grantham whilst at school.

In his memoirs, Newton noted that he worked on Fluxions (what became differential calculus) at Babington's rectory, and also calculated the area under a hyperbola (involving integral calculus).
