The Guild Chapel @ Stratford Upon Avon.

The Guild Chapel one of Stratford's best-known buildings. Situated on the corner of Chapel Lane and Church Street, it overlooks the site of New Place, Shakespeare's Stratford home, in which he died, in April 1616.
It was largely built in the fifteenth century, as the chapel for the Guild of the Holy Cross, which was suppressed by Henry VIII.
In the following centuries the building was very poorly maintained hence the creation in 1954 of The Friends of the Guild Chapel.
