Shakespeare's reputation and success grew each year. After his father died in 1601 and he inherited the house now known as "The (Shakespeare) Birthplace," he bought into the construction of the Blackfriars Theater, one of the first indoor theaters designed and built by contemporary architect and set designer Inigo Jones. James I, King of England, patented The Chamberlain's Men in 1603, and the company renamed itself The King's Men. As such, the players mounted approximately twelve productions a year at court. By 1609, they had moved permanently to the Blackfriars Theater where they performed year-round. In 1610, Shakespeare purchased a large townhouse in London but returned to live permanently in Stratford
After his death in 1616, Shakespeare was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon. His daughters, Judith Quiney and Susanna Hall, inherited New Place, his birthplace, and all his various London and Stratford properties; Anne Hathaway inherited his "second best bed."
