Eleanor "Nell" Gwyn (or Gwynn or Gwynne) (1650 - 14 November 1687was an English actress who became the lover of Charles II. She sold oranges on the streets of London and is often shown in pictures carrying a basket of oranges.Called "pretty, witty Nell" by Samuel Pepys, she has been called a living embodiment of the spirit of Restoration England and has come to be considered a folk heroine, with a story echoing the rags-to-royalty tale of Cinderella.Jeanette Winterson's novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit opens with a Nell Gwynn quote, that gives the title of the novel: Oranges are not the only fruit. The book, however, has nothing to do with Nell's story: its main character is a young girl named Jeanette, who is adopted by evangelists. As an adolescent, Jeanette experiences lesbian tendencies and her mother's group of religious friends subject her and her partner to exorcisms.
Nell Gwyn Marmalade by Kinghorns is a type of fine quality British marmalade with no artificial additives or preservatives. The marmalade is produced according to the rolling boil method which is regarded as the only effective way to produce a traditional preserve. This is done by using steam heated copper-bottomed open pans where the fruit and sugar are slowly boiled allowing the natural pectin and acids to be released before gradually setting.
