STRATFORD -ON -AVON.
This view of Stratford is taken from the tower of the Shakespeare Memorial, and the whole place teems with recollections of the great poet. It is a quiet, restful town, most of it comparatively modern, but there is an old timbered house which bears on one of its beams the date of 1596. The church is well worth a visit, even apart from its associations. Most of it belongs to the fifteenth century, and is in the Perpendicular style. In the chancel is Shakespeare's grave, with the well-known inscription, and against the wall his mural monument, with a bust believed to be an actual likeness, and certainly executed shortly after his death. In the near neighbourhood are the graves of his wife, his eldest daughter with her husband and child, and the younger daughter Judith Quiney, who died after her children.
