Thursday Doors - Shakespeare's Birthplace, Stratford-Upon-Avon

This lovely door with wisteria crown belongs to one of the buildings at Shakespeare's birthplace, Straford-Upon-Avon. There are several sixteenth century buildings on the site, including the main house where Shakespeare was born and grew up -  he even spent the first five years of his marriage to Ann Hathaway there, the couple living with his parents.During his lifetime, Shakespeare leased out part of the property and it became an inn called The Maidenhead(!). Upon his death, the house passed to his daughter, Susanna, and it stayed in the family until 1847 when it was purchased by The National Trust, who continue to manage the house today.The house and surrounding buildings have been restored to how they would have been during Shakespeare's lifetime (except for the gift shop on the ground floor, of course). It's a fascinating place to visit, and an insight into how wealthy families lived in the sixteenth century.This is my entry to this week's Thursday Doors Challenge, courtesy of Norm.2.0.
