2001 cannabis story[edit]

This is probably worth mentioning as it somewhat pertains to the topic and many people who were alive in 2001 probably recall the headline if not the details. Fotoguzzi (talk) 17:45, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Was there an "Old Place?"[edit]

Is there a source for why the home was named New Place? Fotoguzzi (talk) 17:46, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error[edit]

{{geodata-check}} The following coordinate fixes are needed for New Place. The marker is a few hundred feet too far north. It should be at 52.190687, -1.707586 a site which is now a garden. —RThompson82 (talk) 05:35, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Francis Gastrell[edit]

The link in the article is to Rev. Francis Gastrell and his life span given as 10 May 1662 – 24 November 1725. Thus it could not have been this Rev. Francis Gastrell who demolished New Place in 1759.

Hi Tim. Thanks for the heads up. I've removed the link. Incidentally, in future you should feel free to make such changes yourself. For most articles you do not need an account to make changes (although I do recommend one), and when saving your changes there's a text field called "Edit summary" where you can (and should) explain why you are making the change. For relatively small and generally uncontroversial changes there is absolutely no reason to wait for a volunteer to eventually notice a talk page message. --Xover (talk) 09:35, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The site received 109,452 during 2018"[edit]

What? Pounds, visitors, ...? Furthermore, the whole section about the ownership history is really confusing. Someone should look into it and write it more clearly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.70.3.91 (talk) 06:53, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"who in 1597 sold it to William Shakespeare for £60. " - in the Timeteam documentary which is on YT, John Benson of the Shakespeare Birthday Trust shows the original purchase documents and states "he paid 120 pounds". Don't know how to cite this, but the uncited 60 are surely false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.70.3.91 (talk) 08:16, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
