Some nurseries advertise cuttings from the trees that were grafted from the "Flower of Kent" apple that grew in Newton's garden at Woolsthorpe Manor in Lincolnshire (original died 1814). As grafting is a vegetative process I guess these essentially be considered the same tree.
OTOH I don't think you can find a named variety of English Walnut nowadays.
