Every building tells a story - Dr Kate Giles
When archaeologist and medieval Guildhall specialist Kate Giles was asked to do a historical stock take by William Shakespeare’s old school at Stratford-upon-Avon, it marked the start of a remarkable journey.
An interdisciplinary and collaborative project, the research combines cutting edge building surveys, scientific dating and historical research with the latest digital 3D modeling. The work has inspired a £1.4 million Heritage Lottery Funded project opening up access to the Guildhall complex, and enabling a distinctive part of Shakespeare’s cultural legacy to be better understood, interpreted and conserved for future generations.
This lecture was given at YorkTalks 2016. Styled on the highly successful TED Talks lecture series, YorkTalks features short, accessible 15-minute presentations on some of our most innovative and thought-provoking research.
London Shakespeare Centre: A visit to Kew Gardens
In this segment, Kings College London student Zack Goldman leads the London Shakespeare Centre on a tour of Kew Gardens.
The botanical menagerie and scientific research done at Kew make it a kind of horticultural hub of present-day London. Because of this role as a nucleus of naturalist activity, Kew can be seen as a modern-day counterpart to early modern London's Lime Street, which functioned as the focal point of the scientific community of Shakespeare's era.
How do the gardens and research at Kew differ from the naturalist studies and practices of Lime Street, though? How is Kew emblematic of the horticultural tradition of John Gerard and the Lime Street community? How is it different?

Henley-upon-Thames
Henley-upon-Thames is in Binfield hundred, 22 miles from Oxford. The area of the parish is 1,920 acres: the population in 1831, was 3,618, not one-tenth agricultural. Henley was anciently called Hanlegang and Hanneburg. Some Roman coins have been found here, but no mention of the town occurs until after the Conquest. In 1643 it was the scene of a skirmish between the troops of Charles I and those of the parliament. Henley is delightfully situated on a gentle ascent from the west or left bank of the Thames, amid hills covered with extensive beech woods and other plantations. The town consists of four principal streets, well paved and lighted, having a plain stone cross and conduit at their intersection : several of the houses are spacious and handsome. The entrance to the town on the east side is by a handsome stone bridge of five arches over the Thames. The church is in the eastern part of the town ; it has a good tower, and several interesting portions both of decorated and perpendicular character. The east window has some good decorated tracery ; and some parts of the masonry are of chequered work in flint and chalk. The town-hall in the High-street is supported by sixteen Doric columns, forming a piazza used as a market-house : the building contains a hall and council-chamber, with some rooms, and a place of temporary confinement in the basement. There are some dissenting places of worship, some almshouses, and a small theatre.
The market is on Thursday, and there are four yearly fairs. Henley is a corporate town. The boundaries of the borough are not co-extensive with those of the parish, but comprehend the greater part of the town. The officers consist of a mayor, recorder, ten aldermen, of whom the mayor is one; and sixteen burgesses, of whom the bridgemen are two. Quarter-sessions for the borough are held ; the Court of Record has fallen into disuse. The borough was left untouched by the Municipal Reform Act. The living is a rectory, of the clear yearly value of £427, with a glebe-house, in the patronage of the bishop of Rochester. There were, in 1833, an infant-school, with 165 children ; a grammar-school, with 19 boys ; a charity-school, with 68 boys ; a national-school, with 124 boys and 72 girls ; seven other day-schools, with 69 boys and 101 girls ; and 'a few small schools kept by old people.' There is a savings' bank ; and in the vestry of the church is the library of Dean Aldrich, rector of Henley, who died in 1737, and bequeathed his library for the free use of all the inhabitants paying church-rates. The Speaker Lenthal was a native of Henley.
