Margaret Roberts, as she then was, was born and spent her early years in Grantham, her father having a grocer’s shop on the corner of North Parade and Broad Street. She went to Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School and was able to quote extensively from Tennyson’s poetry decades after she memorised it at school in Grantham. She installed the portrait of Sir Isaac Newton in the main dining room of No. 10 Dowing Street soon after she became Britain’s first female Prime Minister.
