Hall's Croft

Hall's Croft is a timber-framed house with two floors built in the early 1600s located in Stratford-upon-Avon. The building contains a stone-flagged entrance hall, substantial fireplaces, period furnishings, and carved architectural details throughout the rooms.

The house was built in 1613 for a physician's family who occupied it until 1616 before moving elsewhere. The property became associated with a prominent medical practitioner and his household during the early 1600s.

The house displays a collection of medical tools and containers that reveal how physicians practiced their craft in the 1600s. Visitors can observe the instruments and remedies that were used to treat patients during that era.

The property is open throughout the year and features ground floor rooms accessible to visitors with mobility needs. A garden and gift shop are located on the grounds for visitors to enjoy.

Several upper-floor windows still contain original 17th-century glass panes that have remained in place for centuries. These rare panes offer a direct window into the glassmaking craft of that period.
