Stratford Upon Avon Visit, Part X, 'Clopton Bridge' by Sheila, May 24th 2016
The Clopton Bridge was built by Hugh Clopton in the reign of King Henry VI---the Clopton family were a wealthy and powerful family in Stratford Upon Avon for over 500 years and were known to William Shakespeare's family. There is an ornate Clopton Chapel in the Holy Trinity church and they owned and built many properties in the 15th c. including Shakespeare's home at New Place and Nash House. In later videos I explore Clopton Park and the meadow where the Clopton Hall is located

To see similar dances go to the book Dancing For Busy People and view the blog DFBP. If you are looking for an elegant dance for a special party or to teach as part of a class in history, Clopton Bridge is a good choice. Most of the depictions of this dance are done to lively music. This video shows the style of dancing that might have been used at a elegant dinner party in the 1800's
The music makes the dance. The music is Mrs. Hay's Delight and can be downloaded from the Lloyd Shaw Foundation website.
The dance was presented at the Beginner Dance Party Leaders Seminar in 2007 by Calvin Campbell.

362. If Shakespeare took a bus from London
Perhaps the great writer would have seen these rainy views from the bus window. Welcome to watch some authentic video snippets from recent bus trip. It begins in Heathrow Airport and ends at home in rainy Stratford-upon-Avon. See landscapes along M40, short scenes from Banbury and bus stop in Warwick. Enjoy the shaky arrival to Stratford-upon-Avon and in the end you can see the ford over the river Avon which was used long before Shakespeare's time. The Clopton Bridge is slightly bigger today than during his lifetime. The Mercure Stratford upon Avon Shakespeare Hotel is nearby Shakespeare's New Home museum.
