Hall's Croft
The home of Shakespeare's eldest daughter Susanna and her physician husband John Hall, showing 17th-century medicine and elegant half-timbered interiors.
Hall's Croft is a fine 17th-century half-timbered house in the old town, where Shakespeare's eldest daughter Susanna lived after marrying Dr John Hall. Inside are period furniture and paintings, along with exhibits on Dr Hall's case notes and knowledge of herbs. Behind the house lies a walled garden planted with medicinal herbs, and there is a café in summer. It sits on the old town road leading to Holy Trinity Church, and can be visited along with the church. It is included in the Birthplace Trust combined ticket. Some seasons it may be closed, so check before you go.
