BILLESLEY MANOR HOTEL & SPA
Woven through History
Listed in the 1086 Domesday book commissioned by William the Conqueror , the Billesley Estate has an expansive history dating back to 705 AD . One of its most famous visitors includes none other than William Shakespeare himself , who allegedly married Anne Hathaway in the All Saints church next to the hotel , and who ’ s granddaughter followed suit by getting wed in the very same church . William Shakespeare famously wrote lines from his play ‘ As you Like It ’ from the library and as such many nods to Shakespeare can be found around the hotel from hand crafted feather pieces to more traditional artwork , allowing guests to become immersed in the rich tapestry of Billesley ’ s history .
