Description
Stratford-upon-Avon is often seen as a familiar destination, but few visitors stop to consider its hidden secrets. This book reveals some of these lesser-known aspects of the town, including a pitch for Nine Men's Morris, a piece of early railway history, and a tree planted in memory of Vivien Leigh. Among the town's many attractions are also several buildings with interesting histories: Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was born; a house that once belonged to a bestselling Victorian novelist; and the site where the Gunpowder Plot was launched. The book also explores the home of the artist who created one of the most famous cartoons in history. By uncovering these hidden secrets, Nicholas Fogg's book shows that there is more to Stratford-upon-Avon than meets the eye.
