Advantages: Interesting fine art and lovely gardens
Disadvantages: Small, doesn't take long to see
One of the 5 Shakespeare properties in Stratford Upon Avon.
We bought the 5 property pass, taking advantage of an online discount it cost £15 (approx) to be able to see all 5 and it can be used as many times as you like in the following year after purchase.
This is in the town centre, withinn walking distance (about 5mins) from the Birthplace property. It was owned by Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah, and her husband Dr John Hall, they were married in 1607.
Nowadays this propery is home to a colleciton of 16th and 17th century fine art, including both paintings and furniture. Additionally, there is an exhibition about the Doctor himself and varies medical practices from his era.
This is quite a small property and does not take long to walk around. Not one I would visit on its own but it definately adds to the whole experience when having a Shakespeare day.
We were at the property for no more than 40mins and we did get to see everything. The staff were very friendly and helpful, very keen to share their knowledge with you and show you around.
Well worth a visit if tracing the life of the Bard.
Summary: Pieces of the puzzle come together here - forming the story of Shakespeare
