A will which sparked a legal row over William Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon home has been discovered.
The document, drawn up in 1642, was found in a box of Chancery documents from the 17th century. It has never been seen before by modern historians.
It was made by Thomas Nash who was married to Shakespeare's granddaughter Elizabeth.
They lived at New Place – Shakespeare's family home from 1597 until he died there in 1616.
It was reputedly the second largest property in Stratford at the time when Nash made the will leaving it to his cousin, Edward Nash.
