Location: Stratford Town Centre

Hall's Croft is one of the finest examples of a half-timbered gabled house to be found in Stratford-upon-Avon. It takes its name from Dr. John Hall who married William Shakespeare's daughter Susanna, and who also ran a successful medical practice treating many patients in Stratford and the surrounding district. The information on display about his medical practice makes Dr. John Hall one of Elizabethan England’s most documented provincial doctors. The displays in the house are intended to reflect Dr. Hall's wealth and status as the leading physician in the community and include an outstanding collection of 16 th and 17 th Century paintings, furniture and medical artefacts.

Visitors to Hall's Croft may also view Dr. Hall's consulting room and an exhibition about medicine and medical matters in Shakespeare's time.

Like all physicians of his time Dr. John Hall made many of his remedies from herbs. The garden at Hall's Croft continues to grow many of the herbs described in his medical notebook, and the gardeners of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust keep the herbaceous borders, lawns and flowerbeds, as well as the ancient mulberry tree, looking superb throughout the year. Visit time: Allow at least 45 minutes to visit Hall’s Croft and its gardens.

Hall's Croft is also licensed for civil weddings. For further information please see the Special Visits on the info page
