Grantham
English East Midlands town
Grantham is a market town in Lincolnshire, England, known as the birthplace of Margaret Thatcher and Isaac Newton's childhood home.
The town appears in British political discussion as shorthand for Thatcher's provincial, middle-class origins: a grocer's daughter from Grantham.
In period drama, Downton Abbey's Earl of Grantham made the name familiar to international audiences.
