Hall's Croft: The Story of Cambridge House School
Halls Croft Museum, Old Town, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37 6BG
Hall’s Croft was built in 1613 and was the home of Shakespeare’s daughter Susanna Hall, and her husband John Hall. Situated in Stratford Upon Avon, the building is a fascinating example of Jacobean architecture.
Hall’s Croft is currently undergoing a multimillion-pound conservation project entitled ‘A House for All Time’ and is normally closed to the public. Our Heritage Open Day provides a unique opportunity to learn more about this landmark project and the people who have maintained it.
Come and visit the Hall’s Croft learning space to engage in volunteer-led talks and interpretation focused on Hall’s Croft’s later history as Cambridge House School, from 1865-1883. This provides an opportunity to explore stories connected to landowners, pupils, and women educators associated with the building. From success to scandal, the school's history takes unexpected twists and turns. We also invite you to engage with objects from our collection which were found at the site, providing tangible links to the women and girls who spent time at the property.
