Stratford has Anglo-Saxon origins, and grew up as a market town in medieval times. The name is a fusion of the Old English strae-t, meaning "street", and ford.
Stratford is also close to the Cotswolds, with Chipping Campden 10 miles to the south. As a major sheep producing area (William Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, bought and sold sheep's wool illegally) the Cotswolds, up until the latter part of the 19th century, regarded Stratford as one of its main centres for the slaughter, marketing, and distribution of sheep and wool. As a consequence Stratford also became a centre for tanning during the 15th–17th centuries.
The Royal Shakespeare Theatre is a large national theatre owned by the Royal Shakespeare Company dedicated to the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare, and is located in his birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon, in the English Midlands. The Theatre is located beside the River Avon. The theatre has a proscenium-arch stage, and a seating capacity of about 1500 people, on three tiers (stalls, circle and balcony, with additional side balconies). Entrance to the balcony is via a separate door. The theatre has several noticeable Art Deco features, including the staircase and corridors at either side of the auditorium. It is a Grade II* listed building. The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) is a British theatre company. It is located primarily at Stratford-upon-Avon, with bases also in London, and Newcastle and is one of the two most prominent publicly-subsidised funded theatre companies in the United Kingdom, alongside London's Royal National Theatre.
The Swan Theatre is a theatre belonging to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It is built on to the side of the larger Royal Shakespeare Theatre, occupying the Victorian Gothic structure that formerly housed the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre that preceded the RST but was destroyed by fire.
Hall's Croft, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England was owned by William Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah, and her husband Dr John Hall whom she married in 1607. The building now contains a collection of 16th and 17th century paintings and furniture. There is also an exhibition about Doctor John Hall and the obscure medical practices of the period. The property includes a dramatic walled garden which contains a variety of plant life that John Hall may have used in his treatments. John and Susanna Hall later moved to New Place, which William Shakespeare left to his daughter after his death.
Anne Hathaway's childhood was spent in a house near Stratford in Warwickshire, England. Although it is often called a cottage, it is, in fact, a spacious twelve-roomed farmhouse, with several bedrooms, now set in extensive gardens. It was known as Newlands Farm in Shakespeare's day and had more than ninety acres of land attached to it.
