'The Bramley Apple story starts with Mary Ann Brailsford, a young Southwellian who took some pips from the apples her mother was preparing and planted them in a flower pot.

It is this tree that first began to bear a unique apple, one that has become a favourite of the nation and one of the most respected apples in the world.'
