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).
