Nash's House, on Chapel Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, is the house next door to the ruins and gardens of William Shakespeare's final residence, New Place. It is a Grade I listed building,[1] and has been converted into a museum.
The house was built around 1600 and belonged to Thomas Nash,.[1] who was the first husband of William Shakespeare's granddaughter Elizabeth Barnard. He lived most of his life in Stratford-upon-Avon, and was the dominant male figure amongst Shakespeare's senior family line after the death of Dr John Hall, Shakespeare's son-in-law, in 1635.
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust acquired New Place and Nash's House in 1876. The museum traces the history of Stratford-upon-Avon from the earliest settlers in the Avon Valley to Shakespeare's time.[2]
