Ticketswould have to be secured three months in advance. Inside the building al­ so is a library of 10,000 volumes of Shqkespeariana and a picture gallery with a collection of pic­ tures and paintings about the poet. , Besides the home of his birth, and of his death we visited Holy ! Trinity Church where he was ' buried 17 feet beneath the chan­ cel. The gravestone marking the place bears these linos “Good Trend for Jesus sake forbcare To digg the dust enclosed here; Bless be ye man that spares these stones And curst be he that moves my bones.” It is said that Shakespeare had a dread that some day some one. would move his bones, from their resting place thus* accounting for the depth of bur­ ial and the inscription. Also in the church the register is open at his christening entry of 1564 and at the "burial entry in 1616 ■—“April 25. Will Shakespeare gent” Ann Hathaway’s Cottage We travelled by bus to Ann Hathaway’s cottage although it is said Shakespeare walked the mile to her home across the! fields. The building is much larger than a cottage being a farm home of 12 rooms with thatched I roof and built of timber with the spaces filled in by twigs plastered with daub or clay. Inside are the hall or parlor with massive beams and open fireplace and an uncomfortable, straight-backed settle, called the courting settle, where the young couple sat and talked under the parental eye. There also is a rushlight holder on a wooden base. The common rush, found by the sides of streams or near hedges was gathered, soaked in water till, the peel loosened and then ’dipped in scalding grease, usually tallow, Treated in this way the rush gave a clear light, lasting about three-quarters of an hour if about two feet long. If a better- light was needed the reed was folded in lhe centre and both ■ends lit giving rise, to the ex* pression “burning the candle at both ends.” Beside the rushlight was a bobbin-winder with a glass case of lace tbobbins. These were used in pillow lace making, once a popular industry. Another point of interest was the stone-flagged kitchen. In the right-hand corner was, an ojd warming pan, on the left­ hand, a skillet. An old wooden baking oven lined with fire bricks was very interesting.

There are about 8,000 students studying under 300 lecturers,,and 100 professors. It seemed a maze of buildings to us and I felt sorry for the student on his first few "days at college here. The library is one of the world’s greatest, contain­ing about one million and a half books and. one of six libraries to which is sent a copy of every book published in the United Kingdom, Most of the university buildings are located along High Street, one ,of the most impres­ sive streets'in the world. Journeying northward another eight miles, we made a brief stop near the town of Woodstock to get a view of Blenheim Pal­ ace which the British claim is an absolute “must" on the itin­ erary. First opened to the pub­ lic by the Duke of Marlborough in 1950, Blenheim palace is per­ haps the most famous of all the great English country houses. It was given by Queen Anne to John Churchill, lhe first Duke of Marlborough, in appreciation of his victory over the French at Blenheim in 1704 and cost the equivalent of a million and a half dollars in those days. It was here that a great grandson of the Duke of Marlborpugh; Winston Churchill, V/as born in 1874. . We lunched at Shakespeare Inn,' Stratford-on-Avon, and as we crossed the river and saw the swans gracefully gliding on the water we were reminded of our Canadian scenes on the Avon river at Stratford. This Shakes­ peare country is probably the most popular area in-England for Americans and Canadians. Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust, charged with the maintenance ■of buildings associated witli Shakespeare, has done a mag­ nificent job. of restoring theu buildings and keeping them a- part from the rest of the busi- nes community.
