Hall's Croft

Hall's Croft, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England was owned by William Shakespeare's daughter, Susannah, and her husband Dr John Hall whom she married in 1607. [cite web|url = http://www.onlineshakespeare.com/croft.htm|title = Hall's Croft - Home to Shakespeare's daughter, Susanna|publisher = Online Shakespeare|]

The building 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. John and Susanna Hall later moved to New Place, which William Shakespeare left to his daughter after his death. [ [http://www.stratford.co.uk/prop2.asp Stratford-upon-Avon: Hall's Croft ] ]
