What year did William Shakespeare move to London to become an actor and writer?

Nobody really knows. This took place in a period in Shakespeare's life (1585-1592) about which nothing is known, although there has been a lot of speculation.Not before 1585 (when the twins were born) or after 1592 (when he is mentioned as a playwright in London). We have no further information on this period in Shakespeare's life.

Not in Shakespeare's day. People knew he was a good playwright and his work was popular, but if you asked people then, they might not even pick him as the best playwright of the time in London, nevermind in the world for all time. The centuries have given people a better perspective.

Among Shakespeare's challenges were: he was from a small town and did not have a university education; his father may have suffered a financial reversal and may possibly have become an alcoholic, forcing Shakespeare to take on adult responsibilities, possibly forcing him to drop out of school; he married an older woman who was probably already pregnant at the time of the marriage; his only son died at a young age; and he possibly fell in love with a married woman, once he moved to London to pursue his career in the theater as an actor and playwright, which is always a challenge, even today.

Who inherited the house on Shakespeares death?

After he had become a very rich man through his work in the theatre William Shakespeare bought the second largest house in Stratford, New Place. On Shakespeare's death tenure in the house would automatically have passed to his widow Anne Hathaway. Ownership of the house passed to Shakespeare's daughter Susanna Hall (Shakespeare left the property to Susanna in his will). When Shakespeare's direct line became extinct the house was sold to Sir Edward Walker. By 1759 the house had become the property of an Anglican clergyman the Reverent Francis Gastrell. Gastrell had no interest in Shakespeare, and had quarreled with the Stratford authorites, so he demolished the house (probably out of sheer spite).
