Detailed explanation-1: -The Shakespeare funerary monument is a memorial to William Shakespeare located inside Holy Trinity Church at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, the church in which Shakespeare was baptised and where he was buried in the chancel two days after his death.
Detailed explanation-2: -The monument to William Shakespeare (1564–1616) is located at the southern end of the Mall, in the section known as “Literary Walk” because of the numerous statues of writers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare died in 1616, and his grave in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, continues to draw crowds.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was unusual for anyone to be buried inside the church (rather than in the surrounding graveyard), and Shakespeare managed this by buying a tithe deed for £440 which gave him the right to have a grave in the chancel of the church, to have his final resting place alongside other family members.
Detailed explanation-5: -Shakespeare is known to have been in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1587, when he was mentioned in connection with a lawsuit. Between 1587 and 1592 Shakespeare disappears from all the known surviving records. This period is often referred to as the ‘lost years’, and has been the subject of much speculation.
