Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Stratford-upon-Avon, England
Warum meldest du dieses Rätsel?
In Today's Daily Jigsaw Puzzle, we visit Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, located in Shottery near Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
It is a quintessential example of Tudor architecture and a cherished piece of literary history. Built in 1463 as a modest three-room farmhouse, it became the childhood home of Anne Hathaway, who later married William Shakespeare. The original kitchen and parlor from the 15th century still exist today.
Anne’s grandfather, John Hathaway, was the first family member to reside there as a tenant sheep farmer. Anne was born in the cottage in 1556 and likely lived there until her marriage to Shakespeare in 1582.
Over the centuries, the Hathaway family expanded the property. Anne’s brother, Bartholomew, added an upper floor and new chimneys in the early 17th century, transforming the humble farmhouse into a more substantial dwelling. Despite its name, the building is more accurately described as a spacious farmhouse rather than a cottage.
The cottage remained in the Hathaway family for 13 generations until financial difficulties led to its sale in 1846.
In 1892, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust acquired the property, preserving it as a museum. Today, visitors can explore the well-preserved interiors, including original furniture like the Hathaway bed, and stroll through the beautifully maintained gardens and orchards ♥
