Keswick Codlin apple
Keswick Codlin pre-dates the classic Victorian period of English apples. According to 'The New Book of Apples' Keswick Codlin was first found growing as a seedling tree in a rubbish heap at Gleaston Castle in Lancashire, in the 1790s. Since then, Keswick Codlin has retained its place as a popular mid-season cooking apple, which readily cooks down to a sweet puree.

This apple is one of the flavours of my childhood in Worcester, for eating from the tree and cooked. Our family inherited a mature Keswick tree and another just used for cooking when we bought an inner city terrace.
