Man dedicated his life to Shakespeare plays

Edward Capell, born just outside Bury St Edmunds 300 years ago, dedicated his life to studying Shakespeare's plays.

His collection now sits in the Wren Library at Trinity College, part of Cambridge University.

Ahead of the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare, Shaun Peel has been to the library to find out more about the role of the Suffolk man in preserving early editions of the Bard's work.
