Love and marriage
“Swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.”
—Juliet in Romeo and Juliet
WITH DEDICATION TO MY FRIEND VINCENT WHO LOVES SHAKESPEARE LIKE ME LOVE SHAKESPEARE'S WRITING
The world famous Anne Hathaway's Cottage is situated in Shottery 1
mile from Stratford-upon-Avon and was the childhood home of
Shakespeare's wife and has been a pilgrimage for visitors for centuries.
The young Shakespeare would have courted Anne here and the thatched
cottage has often been described as the most romantic in England. The
beautiful thatched farmhouse was occupied by descendents of the Hathaway
family until it's purchase by the Trust in 1892 and still contains many
rare family items of furniture that date back to Anne's time, including
the finely carved, oak Hathaway bed.
