What to expect
Hall's Croft is a historic building that was once the home of William Shakespeare's daughter, Susanna Hall, and her husband, physician John Hall. The house, built in 1613, features a collection of 16th- and 17th-century paintings and furniture, as well as an exhibition about Doctor John Hall and the medical practices of the period. The property also includes a dramatic walled garden with a variety of plant life that John Hall may have used in his treatments. The house has undergone several changes over the years, including being used as a boarding school in the 19th century. Today, it serves as a learning hub for secondary school students, university, and life-long learners, offering award-winning programs and workshops
