April 1616 A.D. Photos
of William Shakespeare’s Holy Trinity Anglican, Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare’s father and mother attended
here. His father was the Sheriff of
Stratford-upon-Avon and responsible for compliance with the 1559 Elizabethan
Injunctions for the use of the Book of
Common Prayer. Shakespeare was born
23 Apr 1564 A.D. on St. George’s Day and three days later was baptized here on
26 Apr 1564. He also was forced to make a statement of public repentance for
fornication at age 18 (he married the pregnant Ann). He was married here. Will and Ann’s children
were baptized here. William died on St. George’s Day, 23 Apr 1616, and was
buried in the chancel area. The photos
below will show the Chancel area with a sculpture set in the wall of the
Chancel.
