Only recently, the site of Shakespeare’s family home in Stratford upon Avon was uncovered by a seven -year archaeological investigation.

At this event, Dr. Diana Owen, Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and Dr. Kevin Colls, Archaeological Project Manager, University of Staffordshire presented a special lecture on their findings at Shakespeare's home.
