Another Darwin link...

Darwin at Downe, which is campaigning to have Down House in the village of Downe, Kent, declared a World Heritage Site. Click over and have a look. Darwin moved from London to Down House in 1842, and there did the work which led to the publication of The Origin of Species in 1859. From Down House he fired off letters of inquiry to experts, invited his colleagues for visits to test their support for his ideas, established that worms are indifferent to bassoon music, lived a happy family life (although not without its tragedies) and did experiments in support of his theory of evolution. Down House is open to the public, and is a must-visit for anyone interested in Darwin, biology, natural history and the history of ideas.
