This Tudor house in Stratford-upon-Avon is the birthplace of William Shakespeare and was occupied by his family from 1552, 12 years before his birth. It remained in their ownership until the 19th century. The timber is oak but Shakespeare would not have seen the house as it is now, as it was the Victorians in the 19th Century who removed the plaster, exposing the timbered walls. All of the flowers and herbs growing in the garden are mentioned in his works. ~~~~~~~~~~ Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. William Shakespeare, "The Tempest",

This is just fascinating, LynEve.His home is so warm looking and I can see why he was inspired by his surroundings. Thank you so much for sharing this; it'll be a marvelous place for my grandkids to see! You did a wonderful job on the photo! - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
What a great post Lyn and such interesting history in your description. Your photo is intrigueing and full of wonderment. The beautiful flowers and yet the house borded up. Fascinating and makes me wonder if there's a caretaker somewhere out there. Terrific post and I'm so glad you shared this one. Thanks.

"Acknowledge yourself for how far you have come, instead of how far you think you have to go." I'm always happy to see you at My Gallery. I appreciate all of you. Thanks, Anita
I went on a school excursion to this place and the teacher made a big thing about Shakespeare being born there. As I remember I was fascinated by the building, I must have been about nine at the time and that odd fellow who lived there once and wrote things nobody could understand didn’t impress me much :-)
The photo impresses me though. It definitely looks English with the Tudor architecture and that rambly old garden.

SORRY I AM INFREQUENT VIEWING/COMMENTING!
I have many things going on that are keeping me off the pc...
As one of those evil teachers who makes students read Shakespeare, I am very interested to see a photo of his birthplace. It is, indeed, a quaint Tudor cottage. I must go there sometime.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
You did a wonderful job on this, LynEve. I was there too. I have a shot of the other side of the house, but there are too many people in it though I have tried cloning them out. I think this view is much prettier.

What a wonderful, educational composition. So, this is where the "owd boy" lived? I never cared much for Shakesphere eith. I strictly a country bum and all that highfaluting stuff doesn't do much for me. love the capture, however. The flowers are beautiful and the home looks inviting. Nice work.
