“He was not of an age, but for all
time”
Ben Jonson
William Shakespeare was born on
April 23, 1564. His father was a
rich citizen whose business was
making and selling leather gloves.
His mother was the daughter of a
farmer.
William Shakespeare
John Shakespeare
She was a farmer's daughter and she was
some years older than himself.
Anne Hathaway.
William
Shakespeare’s wife.
Anne Hathaway's Cottage,
Stratford-on-Avon.
Shakespeare had three children: Susannah, the
eldest, then twins — a son, Hamlet, and another
girl, Judith. In 1587 Shakespeare went to work in
London, leaving Anne and the children at home.
Some years later Shakespeare began to write
plays. The parents did not even guess that their
son would be such an important figure in English
poetry and drama and that his plays would still
be acted four hundred years later in England and
all over the world.
There were no theatres in England in those
times. Groups of actors travelled from town
to town showing performances in the street.
Sometimes actors came to Stratford-onAvon. The boy went to see all their shows
and liked them very much. He wanted to
become an actor. Sometimes he wrote little
plays and staged them with his friends.
Stratford on Avon Map.
By 1592 Shakespeare
was an important member
of a well-known companyIn 1599 the famous Globe
Theatre was built on the
south bank of the river
Thames. In that theatre
most of his plays were
performed.
Shakespeare’s house in Stratford.
Stratford Upon Avon - Shakespeare's Birthplace.
The main draw for visitors is to see the birthplace of William Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest poet and
playwright of all time.
The town sits along the River Avon and the setting is beautiful. I would say that 3 hours is plenty if you want
to see most everything, although a few extra hours for eating and taking a stroll would be a good idea. Just up the
road is Warwick Castle and we also suggest a quick tour of that if you have time. Try going on a weekday to get
away from the weekend crowds, but otherwise enjoy the history of Stratford and do the walking tour we have
mapped out below.

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
It was a round building with the stage in the
centre, open to the sky. If it was raining, the
actors got wet; the weather was too bad, there
was no performance at all. By 1603
Shakespeare was the leading poet and
dramatist of his time. He continued to write for
the next ten years. In 1613 he finally stopped
writing and went to live in Stratford where he
died in 1616. He is buried in Stratford-on-Avon.

William Shakespeare's
tombstone is set for a
makeover – despite bearing
a curse against those who
move it. The grave is being
restored as part of extensive
repairs at Holy Trinity Church
in Stratford-on-Avon. The
stone, which renovators say
will not be moved, warns:
"Blessed be the man that
spares these stones. And
cursed be he who moves my
bones."
