Some bad news for Shakespeare fans. Seemingly the house he was born in is being wrecked by badly behaved visitors. From leaning against the railings to take selfies, bending them out of shape, to actually stealing tiles off the roof of the porch.
The Henley Street house was built in 1564, and when it was put up for sale in 1846, it was saved from being shipped to New York as a tourist attraction by PT Barnum, by a group of people, including Charles Dickens.
