Time Team (1994)
S12E11 Norman Neighbours - Skipsea, East Yorkshire
Episode Overview
For years, Frances Davies, a devoted Time Team enthusiast, has been discovering artifacts right in her backyard in Skipsea, East Yorkshire. Among her finds are Neolithic, Roman, and Saxon relics, but her standout treasures are medieval pots from the time of the Norman Conquest. Evidence suggests that people lived in the area a millennium ago, but a geophysics survey of the site uncovers astonishing results that exceed the team's expectations. Could Frances's field have once been home to a lost Norman village? And might clues lie within nearby Skipsea Castle, the stronghold of the region's Norman lord? The Team has just three days to uncover the truth.
