My landlord, Graham, who formerly farmed the land following in the footsteps of his father and uncle still maintains the old award winning cider orchard attached to the farm, replanting any windblown or dead trees with new ones of similar old varieties. He's just started labeling them so now I know what some of them are.

Adam's Permain, introduced in 1826 and popular in Victorian Britain, I'm looking forward to trying this one.
Charles Ross, first introduced in the 1860's, I can testify that this is an excellent eating apple.
Evereste crab, at less than 25mm (1") in diameter one wonders what these were used for, perhaps they were just ornamental, I seem to remember this tree smothered in blossom in the spring.
Payhembury, as a sharp apple this is primarily a cider apple but can be cooked.
Pitmason, a very old variety having been introduced in the 1780's. With an aroma of pineapple I'm very much looking forward to tasting one of these.
Graham ran out of marking tape so I don't know what this one is, yet. It might be another Pitmason although there are only a few duplicates.
Shame to let them go to waste.
