Not exactly. On 29 April 1552, the town records of Stratford record that John Shakespeare was fined a shilling, along with Humphrey Reynolds and Adrian Quiney, for making an unauthorised dunghill - sterquinarium, or midden heap - in front of the house of a neighbour, the wheelwright William Chambers. The law recorded that he ought to have dumped his sewage on the communal muck-hill at the rural end of Henley Street. Mr. Shakespeare knew enough not to start a pit of excrement outside of his own house. Phew!
