William Shakespeare is a famous playwright and poet who lived during the Elizabethan Period of England. He was born sometime in 1564, though our best guess comes from his baptismal record rather than any birth certificate. (Parents would sometimes wait days or weeks to be sure that mother and child were both well before performing a baptism.) Shakespeare spent his whole life in England—part in London and the rest in Stratford-Upon-Avon, where he was born. On April 23, 1616, William Shakespeare passed away in his hometown and was buried in the Holy Trinity Church two days later.
One can still visit Stratford-Upon-Avon today in Warwickshire County, England. Today, many fans and students of Shakespeare, as well as tourists, are drawn to England to see the sites of Shakespeare's life like the Globe Theatre in Southwark or his grave in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
