Nash's House, once owned by Thomas Nash, the first husband of Shakespeare's grandaughter Elizabeth, contains fine examples of 17th century tapestries and oak furniture. The garden of this beautiful half-timbered house, with its knot garden in the Elizabethan style, was planted on the site previously occupied by New Place. Shakespeare bought New Place in 1597 for #60 as a retirement retreat and it was here that he spent his last years. Reputed to be one of the finest houses in Stratford, New Place was unfortunately demolished on the instructions of an eccentric owner in the 18th century; all that remain are two wells and parts of the foundations.
