Time Team!


Tonight I have stayed in and have mostly been working on the Scouting 2007 and Eurojam websites! I also watched the new series of Time Team on Channel 4, for a link please click the above title!

For this programme, Time Team visited the village of Nether Poppleton, near York. And relatively close to my home! The local residents wanted to know more about the place where they live. Mysterious earthworks cover a field around their church and the locals have bought the land to protect it from development. But what do these earthworks represent? It turned out to be the site of a monestary!

And there did turn out to be evidence of a Saxon church or monastic settlement predating the existing Norman church.
