Anne Hathaway
I had finally reached Anne Hathaway's Cottage on foot. Note I had no plans to go inside. Just get my shots and walk back to Stratford.
Anne Hathaway's Cottage is run by The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

HISTORICAL NOTE: the birthplace of Anne Hathaway, 1556-1623,
who married William Shakespeare in 1582, and the home of the
Hathaway family from the C15 to 1892, when it was sold to the
Trustees and Guardians of Shakespeare's Birthplace. It has
been a place of marked literary and tourist interest from at
least the mid C18, and is reputed to be the place of William
and Anne's courtship; especially noted is the so-called
'courting settle' in the hall.
