Shakespeare Birthplace Trust

Hall's Croft

---

Jacobean home of Shakespeare's daughter

Wander through the elegant home of Susanna Shakespeare and her husband, Dr John Hall. Enjoy the luxurious rooms and beautiful decoration of this fascinating house, befitting a wealthy physician of Dr John Hall's status.      

Examine the intriguing collection of apothecary's equipment and books in the doctor's consulting room along with a first edition of his medical notes published in 1657. In the beautiful gardens, breathe in the fragrant herbs as used by Dr Hall in his remedies.

Over the next few years the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust will be carrying out major conservation work on the house. In preparation for this we are stabilising the structure including strengthening the beams and joints, and making temporary repairs to the roof spaces.
