Hall's Croft is a house in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, which was owned by William Shakespeare's daughter, Susanna Hall, and her husband Dr John Hall whom she married in 1607.[1] The main part of the house was built six years after their marriage, in 1613. John and Susanna Hall later moved to New Place, which William Shakespeare left to his daughter after his death.[2]
The house was bought by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in 1949, and after substantial repairs and alterations, opened to the public in 1951.
The building is a Grade I listed building,[3]and now contains a collection of 16th- and 17th-century paintings and furniture. There is also an exhibition about Doctor John Hall and the obscure medical practices of the period.
The property includes a dramatic walled garden which contains a variety of plant life that John Hall may have used in his treatments.
