Annotation:
	Suggests that "William Shakeshaft of Preston and Cadley (fl.1562–1609)" is the fellow named in Alexander Hoghton's 1581 will, countering existing scholarship that has assumed Hoghton referred to Shakespeare the playwright. Proposes that Shakeshaft "could have been involved in" drama, specifically the presentation of "the Preston mystery plays." English summary, 433.
