Wyken Pippin apple tree, the Weaver's House, Spon End, Coventry
The Weaver's House is a 15th century house, one of a row of five, which has been restored to suggest how the weaver John Croke and his family might have lived around 1540. The garden behind it displays plants that were grown for food, flavouring, medicine and household use. https://theweavershouse.org/
The Wyken Pippin, seen here trained up a south-facing wall, belongs to a later era. It is a traditional Warwickshire apple cultivar, named after the village of Wyken, now a suburb of Coventry. It is believed to derive from a tree that grew there in the 18th century, which may have been grown from a seed or seedling brought from the Low Countries. Laxton's Superb, a popular modern variety, was bred from it. http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/full2.php?varid=6934&
