William Wycherley (baptized April 8, 1641 – January 1, 1716) was a notable English playwright during the Restoration period, renowned for his works "The Country Wife" and "The Plain Dealer." Early Life Wycherley was born at Clive near Shrewsbury in Shropshire, in a residence known as Clive Hall. However, there are claims, notably by Lionel Cust, that his birthplace might have been Trench Farm near Wem, which was also the birthplace of John Ireland, a writer who was later adopted by Wycherley's widow after Ireland’s parents died. Wycherley was baptized on April 8, 1641, in Whitchurch, Hampshire. His parents were Daniel Wycherley (1617–1697) and Bethia Shrimpton, daughter of William Shrimpton. The family had a modest estate yielding about £600 annually, and his father served the Marquess of Winchester. Much of Wycherley's childhood was spent at Trench Farm, one of his family's properties in Shropshire. He likely also spent his early years at Whitchurch F
