Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon was a town in England. William Shakespeare‎ was born in the town, (PROSE: A History of Humankind) and later lived there near the end of his life. After being released from prison, Sir Walter Raleigh‎ arranged to have Shakespeare poisoned. In 1616, Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon. (PROSE: The Empire of Glass)

When the Second Doctor landed in Australia in 2018, he was actually trying to get to either William Shakespeare's house in Stratford or the Pan-Galactic Games on Alpha Centauri, as Victoria Waterfield had wanted to see how her ancestors had lived in the late 16th century. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)
