Hi Huffers57, the house you mention that was there on your last visit, rest assured is still very much there! It was built in 1530, extended in the early 17thC and added to further in the 19thC. Known as 'Nash's House' Thomas Nash married WS's last living relative, Elisabeth Hall (granddaughter) and briefly owned it. Prior to 2010, New Place Gardens were open to the public during the day but were closed when the first major archaeological excavations started. When NP reopened local residents were given free entry to the gardens, the site of New Place (where WS's family home stood and its subsequent rebuilt finally demolished in 1759 and the exhibition housed in Nash's House. Hope this helps.
