[@MrTorleon]

Thank you Ian. as with your Oxford tour, you have provided an extensive, informative and attractive walk around this important English town. As an Englishman, marooned in New Zealand, I have a need to remind myself of all that awaits me, should I make it back one day, and your tours are an essential element in that remembering - top shelf as always - well done :)

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

I think Stratford on Avon is more apt because aside from becoming easy to recall, the town of Stratford is really on Avon. In fact, this is the only place I know with a name making reference to a river in its location. Unless it cannot be just referred to as plain Stratford because there are other Stratford(s) in England? Been here before in 2001, but his houses then were not crowded with other structures, but then many houses have been constructed near it since then.

[@FreeToursbyFootLondon]

There are other Stratfords, yes :) And also many places with rivers in their name: Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stockton-on-Tees, Stoke-on-Trent, etc.

Hi Is there a way to book this tour online? I checked on the Website but was not able to see the dates for this tour?

[@timdaugherty5921]

May I ask what month this was filmed? I assume not January?

[@ianbraisby1614]

Late summertime. In January we get the beautiful blue sky but definitely not shirt sleeves and shorts temperature !

Your voice reminds me of Winnie the Pooh 😊

[@johntaplin3126]

John Harvard never came from Stratford. His mother, Katherine Rogers, daughter of Thomas Rogers, who built the house, lived there. She married Robert Harvard, a Southwark man, as his second wife. John Harvard graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, was ordained, married and moved to New England. He didn't found Harvard University, but due within a year or so of arriving in America, leaving a large bequest to a embryo of an educational institution that became the university. The liklihood is that Robert Harvard aka Harward was from a family from Bretforton, Worcestershire.

[@IABTours]

Looks like I mis-spoke on Harvard House, which can happen on a live tour. I don't do repeated takes or use voice over, so errors can occur. "Home of the family of John Harvard" is of course what it is and is how I usually describe it on all my tours. While John was not directly linked to the house, it was donated to the university by a later owner and is now cared for by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust on their behalf.

[@lizblows7101]

Did you know his nickname was/ is Billy Waggle Dagger?

[@Steve-ix2un]

Went there some years ago, there was hardly anything there, a disappointment, small scale.
