Shakespeare's Birthplace
Shakespeare's Birthplace is a 16th-century timber-framed house on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon where William Shakespeare is believed to have been born and raised. The building is now a small museum managed by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and retains period rooms, a rear garden and an adjoining single-bay cottage.

As it stood in 1564
What Shakespeare's Birthplace looked like in its prime.
A compact two-storey half-timbered house with dark oak frame set against pale wattle-and-daub infill, a modest street-facing porch and small leaded casement windows. Local blue-grey stone appears in the lower courses and thresholds; large open fireplaces of early brick and stone open from interior rooms. Ground-floor rooms have stone-flagged floors and exposed timber beams; a single-bay cottage is built onto the north-west end and a walled herb garden sits behind the house.
