🕍✨ A moment with Shakespeare’s legacy Today we visited the beautiful Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon — the final resting place of William Shakespeare, the world’s greatest playwright. 🌿📜 Standing by his grave felt almost surreal — centuries may have passed, yet his words still echo through time, inspiring readers and dreamers around the world. ✍️💫 And there it was, his famous inscription, warning everyone not to disturb his bones... even after death, Shakespeare knew how to add a touch of drama! 🎭😄 A peaceful place filled with history, poetry, and the quiet reminder that “All the world’s a stage.” 🌸

Beautiful church, one of only half a dozen in this country with a 'weeping chancel'. Also contains Shakespeare's grave. Cost us £5 each to visit the grave and listen to a really interesting talk. Nice little gift shop. The church sits on the banks of the river its overall a lovely place to visit.

Such a beautiful church and grounds. Where Shakespeare was baptized, married and buried. You can walk into the church, and look around free of charge. If you would like to visit Shakespeare's resting place. As you walk up the aisle there is a lady, seated, where you pay £5 per person. Then you can walk up and view where Shakespeare was laid to rest, also, his wife Anne Hathaway, his daughter Susanna Hall and her husband Dr John Hall. Also, their son-in-law Thomas Nash. The first husband of their daughter Elizabeth Hall. At the side of the church, in the grounds there is a large Cedar tree from Gethsemane. Walk to the side of the church , outside, and you find the beautiful River Avon.

This Church where Shakespeare was buried is definitely worth a visit. The staff really explained the history of the church. And of course Shakespeare's link to the Church. Very knowledgeable. The Church itself is stunning inside.

Historical & Landmark place This is where Shakespeare tomb can be found. He was born & buried in Stratford-Upon-Avon. You can come to this church walking from the town centre, it is actually a really nice walk and will take you about ten minutes. The Church is really beautiful & historical, well worth your time.

Shakespeare’s home church from the cradle to the grave. Worth seeing and considering Shakespeares life and impact on western civilization. He is buried inside next to his wife near the front of the church. The building itself is beautiful, appears crooked or slanted in the front but the tour guide said that the architect slanted the building on purpose to depict Christ’s head tilting on the cross. The precision and intentionality is unmatched in modern architecture. The symbolism is beautiful!
