Wootton

Wootton is a rural village lying just beyond Cambridge’s urban sprawl, its thatched cottages and stone barns huddled around a quiet market square. A single-lane road winds from the village center toward a wrought-iron gate that marks the entry to Newton Institute’s sprawling grounds. The institute itself sits at the edge of a beech wood, its modern laboratory wings contrasting with the surrounding farmland and weathered chalk walls of old enclosures. Here, the crackle of diesel generators and the overhead buzz of military helicopters introduce an incongruous tension—this tranquil pocket of East Anglia hosts a facility where the Master’s temporal experiments threaten to unravel local time itself.
