Shakespeare paid £80 of the £140 selling price up front and on the day after the conveyance he mortgaged the remaining £60 back to Walker. Johnson, Jackson and Heminge acted as trustees in Shakespeare's interest and were in charge of the sale of the property following Shakepeare's death (See Folger MS Z.c.22 (44)).
