Maybe I'll stay here next time *g*


Nash's house. This is where Shakespeare's grandaughter and her husband lived


This made me sad. This garden used to be the house where Shakespeare died. The owner in the 1700s got into an argument about taxes on the house and knocked it down as a result :(


The arches were part of Shakespeare's cellar. That's all that's left of the house


It is a pretty garden but still...


I had afternoon tea in this lovely little tearoom called Hathaway's.


The silly museum again


The foundations of a property believed owned by Shakespeare's father


The theatre where I saw Hamlet


The verse written on Shakespeare's grave


The grave


The stained glass in this church was incredible. It looked almost 3D


A carving of Shakespeare. This was done just a few years after he died, and while his wife was still alive so it is believed to be one of the closest portrayals of what he looked like


The Shakespeare coat of arms above it


The church where Shakespeare is buried


And a trip isn't complete without going on the river


Me!


Pretty bridge


Posh house with its own boathouse


Pretty house through the trees


The church alongside the river


This is how close to the stage I was when I saw Hamlet. I have not used zoom or anything


My present to myself
