Fix this textSTRATFORD-ON-AVON
Fix this textWORLD-FAMOUS Stratford-upon-
Fix this textAvon in the heart of Warwickshire
Fix this texthad its origin as a Romano-British
Fix this textvillage. This settlement beside a ford
Fix this textacross the River Avon explains the
Fix this textderivation of its name. In 693 a mon-
Fix this textastery was established there. Three
Fix this texthundred and seventy years later, at the
Fix this texttime of the Norman Conquest, Stratford
Fix this textconsisted of a small community of
Fix this textpeople who are chiefly engaged in agri-
Fix this textculture.
Fix this textIn 1196, in the reign of King John, it
Fix this textwas granted a weekly market which still
Fix this textexists. The town is the centre of a
Fix this textpredominantly rural area, bounded on
Fix this textthe south by the beautiful Cotswolds,
Fix this textthe Vale of Evesham and the Edgehills ;
Fix this texta countryside noted for its farms and
Fix this textmarket gardens, with scattered wood-
Fix this textlands, parks and orchards.
Fix this textIn 1553 Stratford became a self-
Fix this textgoverning borough and during Shake-
Fix this textspeare’s lifetime it prospered with
Fix this textmarket activities and as a centre of local
Fix this textcrafts. Its importance was partly due
Fix this textto the building of Clopton Bridge across
Fix this textthe River Avon at the end of the 15th
Fix this textcentury by Hugh Clopton, a native of
Fix this textStratford who became Lord Mayor of
Fix this textLondon. This late medieval bridge with
Fix this textits fourteen stone arches, still in’existence,
Fix this textlaid the future prosperity of the town.
Fix this textLater, the growing appreciation of Shake-
Fix this textspeare began to reflect itself in the
Fix this textincreasing number of pilgrims who
Fix this texttravelled from far and wide to visit the
Fix this textShakespeare shrines.
Fix this textThe most convenient itinerary for visit-
Fix this texting these places of interest in Stratford
Fix this textcommences at Clopton Bridge and not
Fix this textfar away is the Shakespeare .Statue,

Fix this textThis statue was the work of Lord Ronald
Fix this textSutherland Gower and it was presented to
