It was a very small exhibition, and, at first sight quite disappointing.  Almost everything in it I had seen before.  But, I came away quite excited, because it had a much better explanation of the Signet Ring than the one in its previous display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1810 someone found this gold ring in  field near the Holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare was baptised and buried.  It has a lover&#8217;s knot and the initials WS.  It could ofcourse be anyone&#8217;s with those initials.  But it certainly excited comment at the time as the display makes clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-1024x416.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of display at New Place in Stratford-upon-Avon of a comment by BEnjamin Hayden to John Keats about the finding of signet ring which might be Shakespeares.\" class=\"wp-image-3490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-1024x416.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-768x312.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-1536x623.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.34-2048x831.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did not know about the ring until New Place was refurbished a few years ago and the ring went on display.  The new display gives more of an explanation as well as the delightful quotation above from Hayden to Keats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Wood suggested that Shakespeare might have lost the ring on the occassion of his daughter, Judith&#8217;s, marriage to Thomas Quiney in February 1616.  Shakespeare made his Will a month later, and it is marked by three of his signatures.  The Will says &#8216;whereof I have  hereunto put my seale&#8217;.  The word seale has been crossed out and the word &#8216;hand&#8217; put in in its stead.  So, he was intending to seale his approval of the Will, but changed his mind and put his signature instead?  Why?  Because he had recently lost his seal ring?  Shakespeare died a month or so later.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-1024x673.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of display photo of the Ring that maybe Shakespeare's\" class=\"wp-image-3491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-1024x673.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-1536x1009.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-13.55.25-2048x1345.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo of the display photo of the Ring that maybe Shakespeare&#8217;s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Judith was the twin of Hamnet who died at age 11 and the Church has recently planted a couple of trees as a memorial to the twins, who are not buried, like their older sister, Suzanna, next to their mum and dad by the altar in the Church.  Judith&#8217;s husband was a bit of a rogue, as he was called to the Bawdy Court and accused of debauchery with a local women who he made pregnant, and who died in childbirth.  He is not mentioned in the Will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Shakespeare did leave money in his will to buy gold rings for his fellow actors, John Heminges and William Condell, who are buried in St Mary Aldermanbury in London.  They outlived Shakespeare and collected his plays together in the First Folio.  A Remembrance Ring is also in the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"708\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-708x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Handwritten notebook written in the 1620s full of quotations from the First Folio\" class=\"wp-image-3492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-708x1024.jpg 708w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-768x1111.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-1061x1536.jpg 1061w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46-1415x2048.jpg 1415w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-04-24-14.03.46.jpg 1606w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 708px) 100vw, 708px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Handwritten notebook written in the 1620s full of quotations from the First Folio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The other main item in the display is this tiny 7.8 cm high notebook in which its unknown owner copied out his favourite quotes from the First Folio. It contains material from all 38 plays, and internal evidence shows it must have been made from the First Folio.  It is about the size of the minature books the Brontes made.  The tiny writing of the book must have been written with a quill from a small bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The display shows that a lot can be made of a few objects, if they are well chosen and with an excellent explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way the rings and the Folio are clear evidence that Shakespeare wrote the plays as his friends put together his plays in a volume with introductory information which makes it absolutely clear he wrote them. Also in the Church the memorial to Shakespeare compares him to King Nestor in judgement, Socrates in wisdom, and Virgil in art.  Nothing can be clearer, and why people continue to say Shakespeare was simply an actor who copied out the plays is beyond me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shakes-burial-1024x133.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shakes-burial-1024x133.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shakes-burial-300x39.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shakes-burial-768x100.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/shakes-burial.jpg 1039w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pylium is a reference to King Nestor of Pylos.
