A theatre in Norfolk believes it has discovered the only surviving stage on which William Shakespeare performed.

St George’s Guildhall in King’s Lynn is the oldest working theatre in the UK, dating back to 1445.

During recent renovations, timber floorboards were found under the existing auditorium, and they have been dated back to the 15th Century.

The theatre claims documents show that Shakespeare acted at the venue in 1592 or 1593.
