Falstaff Experience - Tudor World Museum at Falstaff's Experience
BEST VISITOR ATTRACTION AWARD WINNER
"An interesting and scary insight into Tudor history" Sara Krime
Tudor World is an exciting and award-winning museum which brings the 16th century to life! With interesting facts and realistic recreations, this is an atmospheric and fascinating experience.
Author Terry Deary of the Horrible Histories fame, was so impressed he dedicated his book Stratford-Upon-Avon to the building.
Adding to the ambience, is that the exhibits are set in a genuine Tudor building, complete with half-timbered wattle-and-daub frontage; a cobblestone carriageway dating back to 1595 and an illustrious history. Bequeathed by King Henry VIII to William Shrieve, an archer, the building has borne witness to plague, religious persecution, treason, intrigue, war, fire, and of course, Shakespeare.
“In Stratford-Upon-Avon is it clearly desirable for any house of the right age to be able to claim that Shakespeare crossed its threshold, for the Shrieve’s House [Tudor World], this claim can be made with some validity”. The Shrieve’s House, Stratford-Upon-Avon Society, Peta Ree
The bard regularly frequented the building to visit his friends, William and Elizabeth Rogers, who ran the The Three Tunns Tavern from the site. Elizabeth’s nephew, William Walker, was Shakespeare’s Godson. Shakespeare is reputed to have based his famous character Falstaff on William the tavern keeper.
As you walk down the oldest surviving cobblestones in Stratford dating back to 1595 on which Shakespeare himself has strolled, your journey back in time has already begun into the Tudor World!
