Best Answer

The original burned down. Cannon fire during a play (Henry VIII) ignited the thatched roof and set it alight in 1613. It was rebuilt the following year, 1614. All theatres were closed down in 1642 by order of the Puritan government. Since they couldn't show plays at it, they tore it down in 1644 to make way for housing.
