Darwin also had an extreme fondness of dogs - easily winning their affection, and took great pleasure in fishing along the River Severn that flowed along the back of his parents' house
He was a lazy young man and also a slow learner at school.
He was a rather shy student but he did take great pleasure in showing off his athletic skills to the other school boys.
Darwen's mother, Susannah, died when he was eight years old.
The first sparks of interest in natural history were developed very early in his childhood. He was at first educated by his sister, Caroline, before attending Revd. Case's grammar school in Shrewsbury.
