Anne Hathaway’s Thatched Cottage

| Anne Hathaway’s Cottage was the
home of Shakespeare’s wife before
they married in 1582. Besides its romantic
associations, as the place where the teenage
Shakespeare courted his future wife, the
Hathaway home has also come to be regarded
as the quintessential English country
cottage. The thatched farmhouse continued
to be inhabited by the Hathaway family
and its descendants until the late 19th
century. |
