Nash's House & New Place, Stratford

New Place in Stratford upon Avon is the house that Shakespeare bought, lived in with his family and then died in. Sadly it no longer exists as it was first knocked down and rebuilt in around 1700 and then totally demolished and turned into a garden in around 1759. Original plans for “New Place” do thankfully still exist and in recent years an archaeological exploration has unearthed original foundations and walls. New Place is accessed through Nash’s House next door which was lived in by Shakespeare’s grand daughter during her marriage to Thomas Nash. When we last visited, you could still see the ‘dig’ in action.

The gardens of New Place are another attraction and when archaeological digs are not taking place, access to the larger part of the garden is free. Our visit to the property lasted around 25 minutes, most of which was spent sitting in the garden, admiring the plants and sculptures! New Place/Nash’s House is one of 5 buildings with Shakespeare connections in and around Stratford. For the best value, we’d recommend buying the combined ‘Shakespeare’s Story’ ticket to visit all five. You can use this form to check latest prices and availability…
