Rooms with History on their Door Step

The Throckmorton Arms is situated near a number of towns with considerable history, for example Worcester and Stratford upon Avon.

Worcester

The county town of Worcestershire is a handsome place, with many historic buildings. Dominating a bend of the River Severn is the spectacular Worcester Cathedral, which contains the tomb of King John. Other popular attractions in Worcester include the half-timbered Greyfriars, and the Museum of Local Life. The 15th-century Commandery recalls the city's Royalist role in the Civil War, as does the Guildhall with its statues of Charles I and Charles II. Visitors can watch porcelain being made at the Royal Worcester factory; there is also a superb collection of Royal Worcester porcelain in the Dyson Perrins Museum at the factory.

Stratford upon Avon

This is one of Britain's most visited towns due to its association with the playwright William Shakespeare, whose birthplace, now containing a small museum, is one of several attractive timbered buildings that have been preserved or reconstructed here. Others include the thatched cottage of his wife, Anne Hathaway, and Harvard House, associated with the founder of Harvard University. The prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company has its headquarters in a 1930s riverside theatre complex where plays by the Bard and his contemporaries, as well as a few modern works, are staged.
