 (17S9) says the original Ribston Pippin was raised from an apple brought from France, and 

 that trees propagated from it were then to be found in nearly every orchard in the county. 

 It was in 1709 that Sir Henry Goodricke, then owner of Ribston Hall, was traveling in Nor- 

 mandy, and took home the pips of a fine apple, from one of which came the original tree. 

 This was blown down about a hundred years ago, but a shoot from the old stump was still 

 living, and bearing a few apples each year, as late as 1909. The Blenheim Orange originated 

 as a seedling in the garden of a cottager named Kempster at Woodstock, about 1792, and for 

 many years his name was locally associated with the apple. — M. F. Warner.
