Days 6+7 Pictures

A chair which probably belonged to Shakespeare, although there is no hard historical proof for such a premise, which is in Anne Hathaway's (his wife's) still intact home.
The outside of Anne Hathaway's childhood home. The home has been added onto considerably, and only two of the rooms in the now ten-room home are from the time that Anne Hathaway and Shakespeare would have been in it.
The massive organ of Holy Trinity Church, a church dating from 1210, where Shakespeare is buried.
The Bible of Holy Trinity, dating from the years Shakespeare was baptized, attended, and had his funeral there. Also awesome upside-down reflections of stained glass (Victorian-era, unfortunately; there was no original glass).
The grave of the man himself. They also had his baptismal font (now much chipped and worn), a copy of the date of his baptism in the parish records, and a bust commissioned by his friends overlooking the grave.
