It is not generally known that over the
course of some thirty years, Isaac Newton
carried out around four hundred chemical
experiments in a private laboratory located in
the walled garden immediately below his
rooms in Trinity College, Cambridge. The
exact location of his laboratory has long been a
source of conjecture and this article describes
a survey undertaken to determine both the
possible site of the laboratory as well as that of
the rubbish pit in which Newton would have
disposed of the waste materials generated in
his chemical experiments. The results are
believed to be of sufficient interest to justify
continuation of the investigation
