| 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. |
