The house rested on Chapel Street. It was built in 1483 by Hugh Clopton, a wealthy merchant and future Lord Mayor of London. Shakespeare bought the house in 1597 for sixty British pounds. Shakespeare did not settle in the house until 1610, staying there until his death in 1616. The house was the second largest in Stratford, and the only house to be made of brick at the time.
