Anne Hathaway's Cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon is a half-timbered farmhouse dating to the early 1500s, famous as the childhood home of William Shakespeare's wife before their marriage. The dwelling exemplifies Tudor vernacular architecture with its whitewashed daub infill and dark timber framing, surrounded by a traditional cottage garden. Now owned by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, it remains one of England's most visited literary heritage sites, preserved largely as it would have appeared in Shakespeare's era and offering visitors an authentic glimpse into the domestic life of the period.
