Henry VII's chapel found at Greenwich
I love this kind of stuff...

As muddy holes go, they don't get much more romantic. Beneath four feet of heavy south London clay, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of Henry VII's lost chapel at Greenwich.

The site is where he and a host of his Tudor successors - Henry VIII, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I - worshipped. The archaeologists may also have unearthed the spot where Henry VIII stood during his marriages to Catherine of Aragon and Anne of Cleves.

- more here.

Fun fact: here's how the headline read over at RimJob's Home for Dripping Rectums: "Henry VII's chapel found at Greenwich (England)." Because the ones in Buttefuck, Montana and Moosehung, Ottawa are still missing. To this very day.
