Architecture / Stratford upon Avon

Architecture at stratford upon Avon

I went to Stratford upon Avon and took some photos of the architecture around the town even tho i had been there many times , I've never focused on taking photos of the architecture
It was a sunny day with good ambient light .

Equipment 450d 18-55mm lens and

Hall's Croft was home to Shakespeare's eldest daughter Susanna and her esteemed husband Dr John Hall before they moved to New Place on Shakespeare's death.
Built in 1613 it is an impressive piece of architecture reflecting the Hall's comparative wealth and status .

Holy Trinity Church is in a tranquil spot beside the River Avon at Stratford. Here Shakespeare was baptised, and here, together with his wife and eldest daughter he lies buried.  The present building dates from 1210 and is built on the site of a Saxon monastery.

Shakespears birth place is a carefully restored 16th century half timered house situated in Henley Street, stratford upon Avon, where it is believed that William Shakespeare was born in 1564 and spent his childhood years.




Health and safety 
I was careful to bring some water on my day trip 

As i walked round Stratford upon Avon I tried to capture many different angles of the Architecture and show the buildings in a different composition than the normal snapshot.
