If it's any comfort, I found this five or six years ago, downloaded it all. But in the past several years of weird worlds, I've watched it at four more times. So, you're gonna have to work hard to catch up with me. I think I'm now on full 20-season watching #7 ... or is it #8. LOL

“While Stewart is plotting out the East wall…. So he tells us”…@ 28:24…😂 poor Stewart 😛.. lol.. they catch him doing goofy stuff all the time.. but he’s actually incredibly good.. I was thrilled to see him on the new one.. he’s been a good sport about everything when he’s the butt of the joke, and he’s a vital part of the team..

[@JessiexXxX]

It’s so confusing sometimes to envision how it was laid out and what it looked like. I love when they show and explain what we are seeing. I would be so confused standing there trying to figure out what part of the house or building I’m looking at lol.

I would even enjoy just taking a stroll around those grounds. It's a beautiful place, regardless even of the wonderful old structures. Things don't stay so green most of the year anymore where I live in California, not like when I was a kid.

[@RumMonkeyable]

This is one of my favorite episodes of Time Team. The research and discoveries made by Robin Bush are phenomenal and solves the mystery of 'what happened to the grand house'. P.S. Capability Brown was quite the landscape architect! He seems to have touched every major estate of his period. Is there a BBC documentary on his career? I sure would like to know more about him.

[@bethbartlett5692]

I find that this is definitely above the very good average of these Productions. I too enjoyed this particular property and finds.

[@billie-jobenway8658]

[@handyhippie6548]

i've been watching these for a while now. thank you for posting them, by the way. i didn't realize how much it rains in the uk. they get rained on so often they don't even seem to notice, and keep right on digging. stiff upper lip, eh?

[@dominofalling2038]

Yup, we get lots of rain, this is why the UK is so green.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

They get a lot of rain in the summer on the east coast here too, and we used to get a lot more rain in what is now our over half the year dry fire season here in California in the 70's. By the mid 80's the change was incredibly substantial though. It keeps getting worse too, about 60% of the entire county I live in now has completely burned in the last 5 years alone.

[@tudorpottudorpot8423]

I was annoyed when owner of the house “owned up” to knowing the fireplace had been sold and was in another house nearby. She kept that knowledge from the Time Team crew. Obviously, the house wasn’t burnt down. There was a fire but it didn’t destroy the house. Sadly, someone died.

The selling off of stately homes isn't new at this time. Sir John Grenville's daughter's sold off Stowe House in Cornwall. The staircase has been found, much of one of the rooms is now part of South Molton Town Council chambers, and a magnificent fireplace exists in a house on the quayside in Bideford, Devon.

[@ancilodon]

All that digging they were doing, you'd think they'd appreciate having a dog to help.

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

Those decorative towers are not actually purely decorative (although the reason for building them almost assuredly was), because any time you have a right angle of 90 degrees (or other angle with varying degrees of success depending on how sharp the angle is) you provide far more strength and support to any adjacent wall. It would also provide more support as it went up vertically, similar to how a buttress works. This _could_ possibly apply more pressure pushing inwards, but that would surely have been taken up by interior walls, witch would also further support the exterior wall.

[@jonathaneffemey944]

[@gazzaboo8461]

Given the amount of water trying to escape the grounds, that seems like an ideal place for a nice lake to be dug. That would improve the landscape with fish and birds and cure the drainage problem. Edit* Darn it. I just looked on Google maps and there is a lakey, pondy thing at the back end of the site.

First time I've seen a pipe probe used on Time Team. The grounds manager used it at 6:30 to help Phil locate a structure.

[@EmeraldVideosNL]

Brian Garrow actually there's an epsiode just a couple before this one during which they use one to look into a covered railway bridge to see what it looked like inside. They had just found it at the end of the three days, so they hadn't time to excavate it. So they have used something similar before.

[@basstrammel1322]

The fact that all traces off and documentation on such palace is just gone in 250 years is wild.

[@basstrammel1322]

After watching to the end I get that it wasn't really gone. Still, in just a merely farm house owned by my family for 350+ years, there's still drawings of all buildings and detailed information of everything happening with the structures during all those years. Not many mysteries or missing houses, haha. I must admit I'm looking through a new pile of papers every time I'm there, and sometimes I find some heartbreaking stuff. I'm a softie, and happily admit I find people's written thoughts and feelings more interesting than buildings.

[@cathjj840]

Sounds like the family were seriously over-extended: complete rebuild of a palatial home, uber-fashionable garden by top landscape artist, race horses. too much bling for their level at court perhaps (no more royal visits). Should've stuck with their Tudor mansion and waited a couple of centuries for it to be appreciated again. But with those tastes, I doubt they're the ones that moved into the stable block. Anybody know if they had any real claim to fame or just inherited wealth and titles?

I think I sound old fashioned saying this & I DO believe in womens' rights to have their career or not, but Carenza just grates on my nerves when she tries to talk over people. I can see the other side-that she has to fight in a most likely male world of that profession, but I also wish it wasn't so obnoxiously. I come from a line of strong women too, but there is strong mind/strong in life and there is domineering. So far every episode I've seen with her, the men politely let her talk over them. Only my opinion.

[@cathjj840]

Some people do make that remark about Carenza but I don't even notice it. And tho' there are too many men commenters who express their 'non-appreciation'* to put it mildly of her, there are others who seem quite taken with her person (her whole person, I don't mean the ones making virtual cat-calls). Comme quoi, les goûts et les couleurs.... * Only Tony gets so many negative remarks but the ones about him are never as nasty. as for politely letting her talk over them, she has a fairly high level in the hierarchy and maybe they should have stopped blathering sooner so she could get them with the programme.
