Shakespeare's Birthplace

                                                                   The Main House

                                                                  The design of the house where Shakespeare

                                                                  grew up followed a traditional plan. on the

                                                                  ground floor was a parlour and adjoining

                                                                  central hall separated from a service/work-

                                                                  shop area by a cross-passage. Above were

                                                                  bedchambers and probably attic rooms

The Rear Wing

This part was added to the building,                   It is likely there was a separate kitchen and

Probably in the early-sventeenth-century            brewhouse at the back of the house, with

when the house became an inn. It is                  other outbuildings and workshop areas

likely that the main room was a drinking               used by Shakespeare's father, who was a

parlour: beneath it a cellar still survives.               glove-maker and wool dealer

                         John Hart's Cottage

                    This small dwelling, where you are now,

                    was occupied by Shakespeare's sister, Joan

                    Hart, and her family during the first part of

                    the seventeenth-century. It was constructed

                    several years after the main house and was

                    originally a separate building.

 

 

 

 

Flap-Jacks

'Fasting-days, and more puddings and flap-jacks'

 

The Tudors did not have chocolate like we do today, but they still liked their sweet-treats ! Tudors flap-jacks were similar to what we make today; oats mixed with honey or sugar (to make it sweet !) and baked in an oven.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each of our 5 houses tells a part of William Shakespeare's story.

 

William Shakepeare was born and grew up in this house. At the time, Stratford-upon-Avon was a thriving market town. William's father, John, made and sold gloves from the family home.

 

Details in his plays suggest that Shakespeare are was very familiar with the glove making process. He may even have drawn inspiration for his characters from the many customers who visited his father's shop.

 

Take a close look at the gloves to discover why Shakespeare said meaning could be turned inside out like a pair of fine leather gloves.

The Birthroom Window

 This window was formerly in the birthroom of Shakespeare's Birthplace.

It became traditional for pilgrims to etch their names into the glass as a  symbol of their visit. The earlist recorded date on teh window is 1806.

Famous names written on the glass include the Scottish writer Walter Scott; the philosopher Thomas Carlyle; and two great Shakespearian actors, Ellen Terry and Henry Irving.

 

 

Henry Irving's name can be seen on this panel of the window. If you look carefully you should be able to see other famous names.

 

As space on the window ran out some of the names were written over, including that of the poet Lord Alfred Tennyson. People also wrote their names on the walls and ceilings in the Birthplace. By the 1860s visitors were encouraged to sign the visitor book instead and many of the names on the walls were painted over.
