Stratford upon Avon to Oxford

Ann Hathaway's cottage in Stratford.


Naughty Betsy uses the WC on the coach. Horrors,


In the cathedral where Shakespeare is busied. Next week is their autumn festival. We visited with a woman who was decorating the whole church with wild flowers


She is really cuter than this picture shows


Here lies Shakespeare He paid to be buried in this cathedral. May he rest in peace


Another residence in Stratford



Guild Chapel in Stratford. Egyptian figures on the wall. Explanation below.





Bought our pork pies and Scottish eggs from this guy. He was quite proud to have been named the best pie maker in Britian


Delicious



Got in a bit of trouble at Warwick castle


Loved the castle. Looked like a bit of Downtown Abbey inside


Finally found the trebuchet. Unfortunately we had to leave the castle grounds at 4:30 and that was when the demo and firing was scheduled


Amy has worked with the trebuchet for two years. She told us how to battle with the trebuchet. If you had an injured warrior, they could be used as payload. She said poop was also quite effective


The workers get into the wheels and walk to cock the machine



Now in Woodstock. Winston Churchill's grave. Quite plain and unprotected in the church yard
