Comedian Rory McGrath found evidence of Henry VIII’s dockyard in Medway during filming for a new TV series. The episode of Pub Dig was aired on the History Channel at the beginning of December and showed the discoveries being made on the banks of the River Medway. McGrath and a team of archaeologists were searching for Medway’s hidden Tudor shipyard and were working in an area that had never been explored before.
