Description:
Holy Trinity, Stratford, on the banks of the River Avon, is probably England's most-visited Parish Church.
Visit Shakespeare's Grave and the graves of Anne Hathaway, Dr John Hall and his wife Susanna Shakespeare and Thomas Nash in the chancel of Holy Trinity Church. Within a few years of his death and during Ann's lifetime, a memorial to Shakespeare was erected and is, therefore, thought to be a good likeness (the sun-tanned countenance is said to be quite genuine).
Also in the chancel are 26 fine 15th century carved misericords. On the bank of the River Avon, this is one of England's most beautiful parish churches.
