Early Pilgrims

David Garrick

In 1769, David Garrick, the greatest actor of his time, staged the Shakespeare Jubilee in Stratford-upon-Avon. This was the world's first Shakespeare Festival and it was attended by hundreds of people. Garrick's Jubilee put Stratford on the map as a place of pilgrimage, with Shakespeare's Birthplace at the heart of it.

Evidence for the Family Home

There is clear evidence that the house now known as 'Shakespeare's Birthplace' was his family home. Documents record John Shakespeare's residence in Henley Street and his purchase of property on this site. Records also show that William Shakespeare inherited the house from his father. After Shakespeare's death in 1616, details are known of those who owned and lived in the house until 1847, when it was bought for the nation.

 

The main house can be identified as a property purchased by John Shakespeare in 1556 from Edward West. John was living in Henley Street for at least four years previously, as he had been fined for creating a refuse heap there in 1552

 

John Shakespeare's purchase of a house in Henley Street, in 1556

 

 In 1575 John Shakespeare purchased two further houses, whose location can be identified as being adjacent to the 'Birthplace' house bought in 1556. Joan Hart's cottage is probably the surviving part of this acquisition. The whole of his Henley Street property is recorded in a survey of 1590.

 

 

 John Shakespeare's name and mark on a deed of 1597 records his sale of a strip of land on the western side of his Henley Street property to his neighbour, George Badger.

 

 William Shakespeare's will confirms his inheritance of the house after his father's death in 1601. The dramatist's sister, Joan Hart, was granted a life-tenancy of the small, western house, with ownership of it and the main house passing to his elder daughter, Susanna Hall.

 

 The 1627 inventory of the tenant who had been occupying the Birthplace, Lewis Hiccox, names William Shakespeare as owning the property at the time of the original tenancy agreement.
