Hall’s Croft Hall’s Croft was home to Shakespeare’s daughter Susanna who in 1607 married a highly-respected local physician, Doctor John Hall (after whom the house is named).

The Tudor building is of remarkable interest in its own right as well as the connection it has with Shakespeare. The Croft houses a collection of 16th and 17th century paintings and furniture, typical of a middle class family such as that of John and Susanna Hall.

There is also an exhibition about Doctor John Hall and the gruesome medical practices of his time, plus a first edition of his medical notes published in 1657. This intriguing house is situated in the Old Town area of Stratford, a few footsteps away from Shakespeare’s burial place at Holy Trinity Church.
