John was a busy man. He also found time to operate as a ‘wool brogger’ – an unlicensed, and therefore illegal, wool dealer. This occupation had been restricted to state approved merchants only, following an Act of Parliament from 1553. Initially this appears to have been very profitable, with alleged sales of up to 400 stones of wool at a time being attributed to John in 1571-2. From the 1570s, John’s life took a turn towards trouble. When John died in 1601, 37 year old William Shakespeare inherited the entire property now known as Shakespeare's Birthplace. He leased part of the house to Lewis Hiccox who extended it as an inn, later known as ‘The Swan and Maidenhead’. The inn only closed in 1846, after which the whole property was purchased by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
