William Shakespeare referred to his home as "New Place," which he purchased in 1597 in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was the largest house in the town and served as his residence until his death in 1616. The name "New Place" reflects its status as a new property at the time of his acquisition. Today, it is a significant site for Shakespearean history and heritage.

At home in Stratford.
Shakespeare was born at home. People were not born in hospitals until the 20th century.
William Shakespeare spent considerable time and money obtaining a grant of arms for his father. That meant that his father had his own personal coat of arms which William (being the eldest son) would inherit on his death. It also meant that he could call himself "Mr. William Shakespeare" or "William Shakespeare, gent."; without the grant of arms he was plain "William Shakespeare."
