Did you visit Stratford-upon-Avon at some point before or while writing The Tutor?

Hi Sally,
I did visit Stratford-upon-Avon and toured the house Shakespeare grew up in, Mary Arden’s farm, Anne Hathaway’s cottage and Hall’s Croft, the house his daughter Susanna Hall lived in with her family. Sadly, the large house called New Place that Shakespeare bought from Sir Clopton was demolished long ago, but from drawings of that house (as the Bard describes it in my novel “a house with then fireplaces!”), you can see that Will Shakespeare had made good in the world.
