Vicar’s Hall

Built in the year of the battle of Agincourt in 1415, Vicar’s Hall is steeped in history. At the Garter Feast held on April 23^rd, 1597 a certain playwright and his Queen met in this room to see a play that was about her father and his six wives.  The Queen was of course Elizabeth the first and the playwright was a certain William Shakespeare.  The high vaulted ceiling and the environment provides a unique glimpse into times gone past.
