Ronnie Mulryne at the Guildhall, Stratford upon Avon
This film includes a selection of extracts from a guided tour of the Guildhall in Stratford of Avon given by Professor Ronnie Mulryne. Originally recorded by film-maker James Willetts in 2015-2016, it has been re-edited as a tribute to Professor Mulryne, who died on 28th January 2019.
Professor Mulryne demonstrates that the Guildhall served as the headquarters of the religious Guild of the Holy Cross and that Shakespeare was at school in the same building. His schoolroom, which has been recreated, is directly above the priest’s chapel. He was at school from about 1571 to 1579, a regular period of schooling in those days. Professor Mulryne explains how Shakespeare was inspired to become a playwright in the schoolroom – part of the curriculum were Latin plays by authors such as Plautus and Terence, which the boys performed.
In the room next to the school room, top-level professional players from London and elsewhere came and played on more than 30 occasions while Shakespeare lived in Stratford. The whole story, schoolroom and professional players, hangs together.
Professor Mulryne, Professor Emeritus at the University of Warwick, was the leading expert on the history of Stratford-upon-Avon’s Guildhall. He was editor of 'The Guild and Guild Buildings of Shakespeare’s Stratford' which was published in 2010. He was instrumental in securing the £1.7m Heritage Lottery Funding to restore the Guildhall and open it to the public.
James Ronald Mulryne was born in Belfast on 24th May 1937 and received his early education there. He took his B.A. and Ph.D at Cambridge University and subsequently lectured at the Universities of Birmingham (Shakespeare Institute), Edinburgh and Warwick, where he was Professor of English and Pro-Vice-Chancellor.
As former Director of the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at Warwick University, he developed and transformed the University’s research base in the European Renaissance and left behind him an important and challenging legacy.
In Stratford he has been a Trustee of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, a Governor of the RSC, and Chairman of Governors at King Edward VI School. At Holy Trinity Church he has been involved in the leadership of services, a church warden, a Chair of the Friends of Shakespeare's Church and a President of the Choral Society, as well as in the restoration of the Becket Chapel and the creation and development of St Peter's Chapel.
Dr Margaret Shewring, a former colleague at Warwick University, writes, His energy, generosity in encouraging others and love of theatre, music, poetry, architecture and history have been an inspiration to many. He will be greatly missed.
St Peter Church Coughton Court Warwickshire.
The parish church dedicated to St. Peter and situated next to Coughton Court consists of a chancel, north and south chapels, nave, north and south aisles, south porch, and west tower, with walls of rubble and ashlar. The building of the present church is attributed to Sir Robert Thockmorton between 1486 and 1518 but parts of the tower are older and the plan of the nave follows the plan of an earlier structure; the church was included in the original endowment of Studley Priory at its foundation by Peter Corbucion in the 12th century. At the Dissolution the church passed to Sir George Throckmorton, the then steward of the priory. The nave contains the table tomb of Sir Robert Throckmorton, topped by a large slab of black marble, but his remains do not lie here and the tomb is occupied by a later Sir Robert Throckmorton, 4th Baronet who died in 1791. Sir Robert died on pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1518 leaving in his will money for the depiction of Doom in stained glass in the East window, the Seven Sacraments in the North chapel and the Seven Acts of Mercy in the South chapel. Fragments of these appear to be scattered amongst the jumbled glass in some of the aisle windows.
The survey of the clergy by the puritans in 1586 described the then vicar, Thomas Penford as; dumbe & vnlearned, a verie aged man, he can scarce reade, yet he hath learning enough for 2 benefices; for he reapeth the fruite of Studley & Coughton both, he hath of late gotten him a certaine hireling to serue his turne at both places, one Robt. Cathell a seelie Welshman that can scarce reade English distinctlie. The valew of both is better then xx by the yeare.

Places to see in ( Winchcombe - UK )
Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Its population according to the 2011 census was 4,538. The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on a hilltop above Winchcombe, was constructed from about 3000 BC. Later, during Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a chief city of Mercia favoured by Coenwulf; the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town.
During the Anarchy of the 12th century, a motte-and-bailey castle was erected in the early 1140s by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford for the Empress Matilda, although the exact site of this is unknown;. It has been suggested however, that it was to the south of St Peter's Church. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having been outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.
In Winchcombe and the immediate vicinity can be found Sudeley Castle and the remains of Hailes Abbey, which was one of the main centres of pilgrimages in Britain due to a phial possessed by the monks said to contain the Blood of Christ. There is nothing left of the now-vanished Winchcombe Abbey. St Peter's Church in the centre of the town is noted for its grotesques. The Michelin star restaurant 5 North Street is in Winchcombe.
Winchcombe sits on six long-distance footpaths: The Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wychavon Way, St Kenelm's Trail, St Kenelm's Way, the Warden's Way and the Windrush Way. Winchcombe became a member of the Walkers are Welcome network of towns in July 2009 and now holds a walking festival every May.
Winchcombe was once served by a railway line, a relative latecomer in British railway history, which was opened in 1906 by the Great Western Railway. The line ran from Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham and was part of a main line from Birmingham to the South West and South Wales. Winchcombe railway station and most others on the section closed in March 1960. Through passenger services continued on this line until March 1968, and goods until 1976 when a derailment at Winchcombe damaged the line. It was decided not to bring the section back into use and by the early 1980s it had been dismantled. The stretch between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse, including Winchcombe, has since been reconstructed and reopened as a heritage railway called the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. A new railway station has been erected at Winchcombe, on its original site, the building being the former station at Monmouth ((Troy) railway station). Nearby is the 693 yard (634 m) Greet Tunnel, the second longest on any preserved line in Britain.
( Winchcombe - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Winchcombe . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Winchcombe - UK
