Old Town
As you turn this corner, look up at the white painted carved wood at the tops of these red brick houses Shortly, on the left hand side, you will come to a beautiful old house which is Hall's Croft, formerly the home of Shakespeare's daughter Susannah and her husband Doctor John Hall. He used to grow the herbs and plants he used for his medicines in the garden behind the house. Walk on past the house, cross Southern Lane, and then follow the road as it curves to the right until you come to Holy Trinity Church.
Holy Trinity Church
The Church is free to enter (mind the very low door) but there is a charge to see the grave of Shakespeare, who is buried 5 metres below the Church. This is a very unusual Church as it has a weeping chancel - if you walk straight in and stand by the font and look down the central part of the Church you will see that the other end, with the choir stalls, is at a slight angle. This is said to be the angle of Christ's head when he was on the cross. If you do go to see Shakespeare' grave, look at the choir stalls and the very old seats as they are beautiful. The bust of Shakespeare on the left hand wall over the graves of Shakespeare and his family was put there while his widow Anne was still alive and she is said to have said that it did look like him. Come out of the Church and walk back to the corner of Southern Lane and then turn right and walk along this road.
