William Shakespeare is buried in front of the alter.
During the era in which he diedit was common for those who were buried in the church yard to be dug up after about 20 or so years and have their bones burned in a bone fire (bonfire) and the plot be resold. William opted to be buried in the church itself (17 ft under) and have his resting place be permanent. He even laid a curse on his stone warning all those who dare move his bones.
