From the BBC:
Archaeologists are preparing to excavate the site of Shakespeare’s final home to find out more about the history of the building.
The New Place, in Stratford-upon-Avon, was built in 1483 and is thought to be where the playwright died in 1616.
The building itself was demolished in 1759, but it is thought remains of the old house are still underground.
Archaeologists will start initial tests on the site on Tuesday and a full dig could be carried out next year.
The experts from Birmingham Archaeology will be searching for the foundations of the New Place and will be looking through the original wells and possibly rubbish pits.
New Place showed up here back in June as Picture of the Week #23
