Of several eminent characters, besides those be. fore noticed, who were born, or have resided, in Stratford, the limits of this work prevent a minute account being given. The more prominent features of their lives therefore can only be portrayed. john de stratford, i archbishop of canterbury. This celebrated divine, who was born about the beginning of the reign of Edward I. was son of Robert de Stratford, the first master of the Guild of the Holy Cross, by Isabel, his wife; persons, it may be presumed, of no mean situation in life. He was bred at Merton College, in Oxford; and was first promoted to the archdeaconry of Lincoln, for his prudent government of which jurisdiction, Reynolds, archbishop of Canterbury, made him his principal official, and dean of the arches. Shortly afterwards, Edward ii. appointed him his secretary, a member of the privy council, and ambassador to the court of Rome; where the Pope promoted him to the vacant bishoprick of Winchester, in opposition to the King's wishes, who intended that see for chancellor Baldock.

But it’s not just the town that captures her heart, as she finds herself torn between the actors Will and Jonathan who both vie for her affections. But will beautiful Peony, the lead actress at the Oklahoma theatre company where Jonathan is playing Oberon in A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, play a role in keeping Kelsey and Jonathan apart?
