Shakspeare's Garden and the Old Guild Chapel, Stratford-on-Avon, 1862. View of '...the Great Garden of New Place...The entire property, formerly the gardens attached to New Place, proposed to be bought by the Shakspeare Fund, contains nearly an acre of ground...New Place itself, the house, was the corner house at the end of Chapel-street. It was the end of a row of houses, with no front garden, and its site was on the right-hand side of the garden here represented in the Engraving. The old Guild Chapel is almost the only building at Stratford in exactly the same state as it was in Shakspeare's time...The first of the objects contemplated by the Shakspeare fund is to purchase the whole of the original estate of New Place, pull down the modern buildings on it, and restore it, as originally, to gardens, for public use for ever. To accomplish this completely will require about £5000. About £3200 has been subscribed, so that £1803 is still wanting for this purpose alone'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
