The English Village reproduces historic buildings which played a large part in making the history of England in the fifteen hundreds. The entrance way is through a replica of the Tower of London, with the scroll work of the "beef-eaters" and halberds. Other features are Sulgrave Manor, home of the parents of George Washington before they emigrated to America; the cottage of Ann Hathaway, sweetheart of Shakespeare, at Statford-on-Avon; a replica of Hadden Hall and Stoke Poges Church where Gray wrote his "Elegy in a Country Churchyard." The Globe theatre at Stratford-On-Avon is reproduced and the Old Curiosity Shop of Chars. Dickens. There is the famous Cheshire Cheese Inn, favorite hangout of Dr. Samuel Johnson.
