Mary Arden's Farm, 16th-century Tudor farmhouse and museum in Wilmcote, England
The former residence showcases timber-framed architecture with Victorian brickwork modifications and contains period furniture from the 1500s throughout its rooms.
Initially identified as Mary Arden's house in 1930 by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, research in 2000 revealed it belonged to Adam Palmer, a neighboring farmer.
The working Tudor farm maintains rare animal breeds including Mangalitza pigs, Cotswold sheep, Longhorn cattle, and Bagot goats to demonstrate period agricultural practices.
The property functions primarily as an educational center, offering specialized workshops for primary school children to learn about Shakespeare and Tudor-era daily life.
Dendrochronological analysis dates the wooden structure to approximately 1514, making it one of the oldest preserved farmhouses in Warwickshire.
