Family Finds A 12th-Century Norman Priory Buried In Their Backyard | Time Team | Chronicle

Tony Robinson and the team travel to the picturesque expanses of the Suffolk coast to investigate a very special back garden. When the new owners of a house in Blythburgh investigated their potting shed they were shocked to discover a cupboard full of human skulls. Could these remains have something to do with what's lurking amongst the shrubs and trees: the superb ruins of a medieval priory that has lain hidden for years?

this documentary was a wild ride for the whole hour...I've never watched even a KZbin Poop with a more disparate story and confusing timeline, but just as entertaining! Loved it!

Fascinating. I’d love to know what they end up doing with the garden.

[@joannbaumann4028]

The UK likely has regulations on what they can do. But I would like to know too!

I love all of you, you're brilliant, but Matt is my favorite - I like the things he finds, and he is like a little kid at Christmas when he discovers things.

Neat episode, I had never seen this one before. Grateful they got back to Saxon times; frustrated they couldn’t work out the dimensions of the church.

As an English woman, living in the US I thank you for bringing home to me every time I watch these videos.

It's so interesting to go back so far in history whereas in Canada this sort of history is basically nonexistent 😊

Terrific episode !!

You guys are great. Pick up a shovel Tony.

It would have been a shame to go through 3 days of digging just to find out that it was a Victorian folly.

[@joannbaumann4028]

I love this!

[@bobhemphut4011]

How tall were the skeletons? Looks like a rather large individual?

[@geneticepistomology]

Is the work to continue?

[@silverstem2964]

I think he means Monument Valley, not Death Valley.
