William Shakespeare was baptised on April 26^th nearly 450 years ago. It’s commonly believed he was born just a few days earlier on the 23^rd, which is the same day he died 52 years later in Stratford-upon-Avon. But it was in London that Shakespeare forged a career as one of the great dramatists of his day. And as Christopher Werth reports, a church in London’s East End may hold secrets concerning the playwright’s time in the city.
