M.', diameter approximately 6 cm acrossQTY: (1)NOTE:Shakespeare’s mulberry was felled around 1756, in what the biographer and diarist James Boswell described as an act of ‘gothick barbarity’ by the then owner of New Place, the Reverend Francis Gastrell.

Marshall's 1887 obituary reads: 'Mr. Marshall ... had many opportunities of acquiring wood that was in different ways associated with Shakespeare, which he occasionally made into such articles as boxes &c., and many are now possessed by eminent persons in all parts of the world'.
