>Will at centre of legal battle over Shakespeare’s home unearthed after 150 years
What a confusing title. I read it as the home being unearthed after 150 years and that there was a will involved in an active dispute over this newly unearthed home.
I was thinking of a Google News competitor that rewrites original headlines — so they are in the readers best interest — based on the content of the article. So, no clickbait, minimal confusion and more learning from merely reading the headline itself.
I fully recommend Bill Bryson’s “Shakespeare: The World as Stage”. I don’t have a lot of interest in Shakespeare but I love Bryson and gave this book a chance. Like most of his books it is super fascinating and entertaining. We know so little about Shakespeare including the fact we don’t actually know what he looked like.

His effigy was carved by a sculptor who lived around the corner from the Globe theater, so he probably got the likeness right. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gheerart_Janssen_(sculptor)#Ni...>
