Did you know?

Charles Darwin wrote a book about worms while staying at a friend's house in Wherstead. Also, Darwin's tortoise, which he brought back from his tour of the Galapagos Islands, outlived her adopter by 124 years, ultimately making it to a whopping 176 years old. Harriet lived out her final years as part of the family of Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin in Australia, until she passed away, in 2006.
