The historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon is located in Warwickshire in the South Midlands and adjacent to the river Avon. The town is best known as the home town of the great English playwright and poet, William Shakespeare. Stratford-upon-Avon has its origins in the Saxon culture of medieval England. For many centuries it was little more than a small market town on the road to London.
It is an important gateway to the Cotswolds and was an important place for the wool industry, its close vicinity to the Cotswolds meant that it was an important place for trading of sheep, their slaughter and dealing in fleeces.
