      FUN FACT : Though Leibniz was in a fight with Sir Isaac Newton over the calculus discovery but he too was so influenced by him that he adopted the symbols made near windows of Sir Isaac Newton's house as the symbol for Integral. 😂😂😂😂😂Yes, this Integral symbol that we use and have observed in this video was introduced by Leibniz, not by Sir Isaac Newton. This shows that you can love him (Sir Isaac Newton) or hate him but can't ignore him. 😁😁😁😁😉😉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 P.S. - It's mine imagination only, it might be true or not.

    It's called Belmont Tower. You are confusing the name with Belton House in whose grounds it stands. In answer to the question "Can you get inside the tower?" Yes, I think there is a little tea shop in it at the top. Enquiries at Belton House would be able to advise you.
