The future of the first Bramley apple tree is in doubt following the sale of the cottage where it stands, leaving campaigners 'gobsmacked.' The sale raises concerns about the preservation of this historic tree.

Campaigners are actively fighting to save the cottage associated with the original Bramley apple tree from being sold privately. Their efforts aim to preserve this significant piece of horticultural heritage.
