I dont know who I am, I don’t know why I'm here, All I know is that I must watch every Time Team episode ever made.
If you do, you'll find your own clue!
Same 😅
'Alright Eeyore! Loved Nick!
bring back time team please, best show ever
Phil's face when he found that piece of flint scrap is why this show brings me so much joy.
I've been binging this show, amazing I didn't know about it before since it ran some 20 years and I am an anthropologist (albeit an American one). Loving the entire thing, but one of the funniest thing is watching Tony grow in both knowledge and cynicism, but the archeology teams (mainly Mick, Carenza, Phil and Raksha) remaining so enthusiastic. I was forensics, but spent a lot of time hanging out with archeologists and can verify that they chatter about their field like a kid about their favorite TV show, can drink like lords, and can focus on the tiniest detail of their finds while completely ignoring their house burning down around them...
Curiosity time. Isn't all anthropology forensic in nature?
@@joshschneider9766 I'm an American, so no, most Anthropology is not forensic, or related to solving crimes. We have 4 branches here: Cultural, Archeological, Linguistic and Biological. Cultural studies how people in other parts of the world live and behave every day. Archeology is looking at the cultures of past people. Linguistic is exploring the evolution of languages around the globe. Biological is looking at everything from the evolution of hominids, to the intersection of culture and health today. Forensic anthropology is a subsection of biological anthropology, with a smidgen of Archeology :)
Thanks to this show my oldest son (7 years old) has decided he wants to be an archeologist or a paleontologist lol when I asked him why he said " Mommy look how happy people are when they are done. I wanna do that for someone."
Oh man, right in the feels. He gets it at such a young age what a gem of a kid .
Let us know how that works out
💙
I was born and raised in Groby. It always made me sad to see the old hall fading away. So glad someone bought it to renovate and live in.

It had been remodeled and then offered for sale on line !
It's sold and currently lived in.
Must have been beautiful Judith
The wholesome pursuit of knowledge and understanding, unencumbered by any of the negative aspects of our complex human nature. Makes for some really calming and addictive content. Absolutely what the world needs in this uncertain and jarring climate we live in.
I have come to love the people of Time Team..I was very sad to read that Mick had passed away. Thank you all and thanks to You Tube for the chance to watch these over and over again. From South Africa
@devildog1982z Thank you, she is such a pleasure
He passed away in 2013.
How absolutely fascinating - and how much would I LOVE to be on a dig like this! Baltimore groups did some local digs that found households dating back to the mid 18th century - and it was SO exciting. This would be phenominal to do.
According to the town of Groby's own website, the White Queen never lived at Groby Old Hall. Furthermore, The Grey family never inhabited the archaeology excavated in this episode. It was the de Ferrers family that inhabited the old manor house, not the Greys. The only thing the Greys (who only inherited the property through marriage) had to do with the manor house is that they destroyed it, then built the brick building that's barely even mentioned. This is all confirmed by simply looking at the family tree shown a few times in this episode, and comparing it with the dates attributed to the ruins by the professional archaeologists. The historical information provided by the so-called "expert" (the historical fiction author), is flat-out incorrect. She rewrote history (for which she is notorious) in order to promote her upcoming fiction novel featuring the White Queen, and no one on the production team bothered to confirm her made-up research. This (along with similar issues in the final years) is why Mick Aston left Time Team.
I'm really glad y'all posted this. I need a little history to help me calm down. Right now there is a massive fire that started just 100 feet from my house. The winds are reaching as high as 45mph. Thank goodness it's blowing away from my house, but it's blowing towards other towns. It has already reached the two towns noth of me, and is heading towards our area's "big city". Everyone is terrified. We are in Oregon, so we don't get all the funding or support that California and Washington get. Currently an entire town is being evacuated. None of the major news organizations are covering this. We need help! Please tell people to look up the Alameda Road Fire. We live in a poor county. There is no way we can come back from this.
Update!!
All of Talent, Phoenix, most of Medford (except for the northwest corner), and now Central Point have been destroyed. Winds are still high, but hopefully the added humidity of the night will help slow the fire.
Update 2!!
Ashland and Talent fires are out, but Phoenix and South Medford are still going, albeit at a slower rate, and in smaller patches. High winds persist, and a fire north of us in Shady Cove/ Rogue River has erupted. They are now in level 3 evacuation, meaning "no time to pack, just GO, NOW!!".
The winds are supposed to slow down later this afternoon which will helps put out/contain the fires.
Update 3!!!
So far they have confirmed 600 houses gone, 100 businesses, and 3 deathes. There are likely many more deaths to be confirmed. We don't know how many people are missing yet. Many people chose not to evacuate.
FEMA has approved emergency funding for 4 of our fires: Alameda fire, Jackson County (my fire); Holiday Farm fire, Lane County; PowerLine fire, Washington County; and Echo Mountain fire, Lincoln County.
The Obenchain fire is still raging just north of us. Eagle Point, Trail, and Rogue River are under level 3 evacuation.
My husband is currently out helping evacuate people from these towns.
Air quality in Ashland is extremely poor. We're doing our best to keep smoke out and filter the air, but there's not a whole lot we can do.
My brother is in Jacksonville. He said they closed down I-5.
@@RUfrikkinkiddinME Yep. It's been closed since about 11:30 ish. They just gave out the order to evacuate all of Phoenix, and South Medford. It's over 1000 acers now. This is going to be another Paradise, but nobody is going to hear about it, because we aren't in California.
@@azhrayharris8 Geez. Scary stuff. We're sending prayers.
Oh my, stay safe! Sending positive energy your way!🕉
if you have been ordered to evacuate, evacuate...
don't wait...a home can be rebuilt, a life can't be
be safe be kind be well...but move now
"buuut, this is Time Team," Tony's favorite phrase.
That was his cunning plan all the time!
Tony missed an opportunity to say 'more of a mountain than a mottehill'
I could never stop after 3 days! I want to know more, don't stop.
But I should also add almost every time team dig led to follow on work some of which is still ongoing almost a decade after the show went off the air. Also look at the channel "time team official" for their efforts to crowd fund new episodes.
Love watching the prof and phil working out details. really precious.
How wonderful it would be to live in a place like this? So interesting.
I have been doing my family tree and have found all the way to 1036 Henry De Ferrer's and found out that all the men were in the army and side by side with the kings. One was actually what I would call a baby sitter for the young king.. I love to find out more about the Ferrer's Robert William and Henry
I always wished we'd learn more about Ian Barclay. If you google there's videos of him picking up a grape and feeding it to someone with an excavator, or peeling a banana with an excavator, and timeteam america had a nice little interview with him, but I wish for more. He was a gem, gone seven years now?
God rest his merry soul. His work gave the world some special memories alright.
Am I the onlu one that is bummed that we didn't get to see inside the buildings that are still standing?
Such a lovely surprise with Philippa Gregory in this one, well done!
Oh you mean the author using the show to self promote her book while at the same time putting out completely false information? The greys never lived on the sight and they didn’t own the castle...later on they owned the properties through marriages but they never stayed there or anywhere in the area
Oh this is great since I have found the Grey family in my ancestors there! Love it, picturing
in my mind this with them in it. thanks :-)
Bravo! Great episode! Time Team rules!
I love this!!! I would love to have something like that farm, amazing.
He finished his renovation and sold it for a few million to a businessman and his family. Could you imagine growing up playing in the Norman ruins in your backyard, what a dream.
@@joshschneider9766 can you imagine paying a couple million for something that you don’t actually own and can be evicted from at any time by the countries historical society
Was here September 2020
Mick was still alive, this is really old. The video quality is great, the original looked like it was on VHS.
devildog1982z
Mick passed away in 2013 so it’s a bit old.
Just love this stuff! Phil is so excited for it all!
You know, Eddie Izzard once said of England that they all had one castle each, joking about how Americans think England is FULL of castles...but I'm starting to wonder if he wasn't joking after watching enough of Time Team. Seems like everyone has one buried in their backyard, lol.
Love your program, I have grey ancestors back to the 900’s, very interesting history
been binge watching all the videos have being them all..time team equals the main team ..love you all keep up thr great content muh love from new zeland
Well if you are interested in “history” then don’t pay this episode any attention because a solid 90% of the “ information” given is completely false and done for self promotion by the “author” expert for her new book that they talk about more than once on the episode..l the greys never lived on this sight not in the castle or anywhere else and by the time one of them finally moved onto the property they were only a grey through generations of marriages and they destroyed the old castle to build up the brick house that you see at the beginning of the episode but you never hear about again throughout the episode... but no actual grey lived on this land or even in this remote area
Awesome...hadn't seen this one yet.........Score
Thank you.
Awsome my grandfather was from lestersire so cool some famous from there dad went to see his father birth place a house still there
Sad thing is if you look on Google Maps, whatever they found on the Mott is overgrown with trees, so the owner obviously wasn't that bothered after all (search for Groby C of E Church)
Hey it's Baldrick!
Tony has done so much to popularize history, and create genuine interest, his producing and presenting quite a few different historical programs.
He has been an influence in uncovering scores and scores of amazing discoveries about the past of his land.
He is now Sir Anthony Robinson.
I do love Baldrick too, though!
This guy is my pandemic crush... I've binged so much timeline!😂
[Average Brit Homeowner] "Oh yeah...I picked up this distressed property that used to be a Norman castle. Y'all come poke around for a weekend and see if you can find 5 or 600 years of history."
A these are not average home owners by any stretch lol and b such archaeology is required by UK law.
@@joshschneider9766 😂I’m just jealous. I live in a part of the U.S. where something 200yrs old is considered ancient.
I’d love to see them perform a thorough excavation of the site.
American GRAY here!
Worthwhile to enhance your knowledge 👍. Love this program
The first thought was lady Jane grey ,,,
@tore springare Lady Jane Grey, also known as Lady Jane Dudley and as "the Nine Days' Queen", was an English noblewoman and de facto Queen of England and Ireland from 10 July until 19 July 1553. Jane was the great-granddaughter of Henry VII through his younger daughter Mary, and was a first cousin once removed of Edward VI.
Had plans to see it in 2016 b4 trip ruined. I kept trying to follow story but so many ads & darn obnoxious man intro. I want TT only please.
I haven't seen Raksha recently! She's very knowledgeable 😀
Drat. I got all excited thinking it was the Dynasty of Grey Aliens =P
How Exciting ! l saw my 14th G. G. Father's name Sir Robert Wotton on the family tree , along with my 13th G. Aunt Margaret Wotton Grey and her granddaughter Lady Jane Grey , that is Princess Diana's also . I read that Margaret Wotton Grey's husband Sir Thomas Grey ll was one of the richest men of England . Happy Hunting !
Hi cousin
Hello !
I am descended directly from Edward II as well as Fair Rosamund. This means we are cousins as well. My Scots-Irish-Welsh-English-Norman roots are well documented. My grandmother was born to Quakers and on this side of the pond my roots through her family go back to 1608 and the first child born at Janestowne to have descendants. On my mother's side I'm second sailing of the Mayflower. I also have at LEAST 2 to 3 Native American communities and the first territorial Governor of the Minnesota Territory (Andrew Ramsay) was a great-uncle. On that side we had men who went into Lakota territory as single men and came back years later with a wife and children. There also were women on both sides who had a surname of "leaf" or "fern". My hubby has Cherokee via his mother and may actually be cousins with my uncle by marriage who also is part Cherokee and has the same last name as my MIL's maiden name.
So ... hello cousins.
@@CatBuchanan - That's a lot of great history there ! My Wotton's left England to settle Jamestown , Virginia and my own 3rd G.G. Father Wootton settled Brazos Co. Texas in the USA with the great man Stephen F. Austin . My Foster family which I believe were from England , settled Fort Bend Co. Texas , USA also with Stephen F. Austin and my Uncle Randolph Foster was his Chief Lead Scout . This is just from my mother's side . Now my father's side is a Clooney from Co. Kilkenny, lreland , so we have Rosemary & George thrown in for an extra special treat ! But I still feel so bad for Queen Lady Jane Grey & her Tragic history .
It's infuriating that the information from the 60's stairs trench didn't have the precise information to locate where the stair was on the motte!!!
Thank you for giving me the correct spelling of motte. I'm trying to watch this and they use that word from the beginning and I had never heard of it before. Now I'm able to go look it up.
Helen!
Good to see Baldrick doing historical archeological programmes again.
It's from 2011
Am I the only one who finds Helen cute?
Beautiful , I would live there.
Wouldn't that be nice!
They lived there from 1066 to 1953. Just shy of nine hundred years.
@@joshschneider9766 I did my family genealogy during lockdown and the farthest I could get back was a couple hundred years. Imagine being able to trace back that far. Utterly fascinating.
what season and episode is this one?
I wonder how much it cost's to buy a historical place like that?
It sold for 3.4 million British pounds in 2019.
20:54 song? in the background
First aired March 20, 2011.
I love Phill!11
Does anybody know how the book is called. Where they talked about hugh de gransmesil???
Few of the Grey family lines are in USA, but the Grey’s of American change the “e” in England to “a” in America ( American Colonial’s). There are Grey descendants that are GSMD with direct genealogy.
Could you please their be burial’s that hot covered up by the next dynasty’s?..
Not
It would seem that I am a descendent of this Grey family .
What is that blue coat Tony is wearing? With a bird in a circle logo. Same coat but red in their recent episode about the castle upon castle
Canada Goose, i think
Stuart wins John on the most hair left after 20 years of time team. Is it due to just Stuarts' walking around looking at lumps and bumps and John's use of radiology? Just a thought.
Where and how did all this excavated dirt come from ?
Is that Baldrick?
He’s also an amateur archeologist. If I remember correctly, he and Mick Aston were instrumental in creating the original show.
Yes
The precursor show was called time signs check it out
Why is this not available to watch in the uk dispite it being a british video and filmed in the uk?
And that someone is the British broadcasting Corp ;)
Is this the same Grey family that John Grey from Outlander belongs to?
So ... so are we saying ...
Richard III, Duke of Gloucester, King of England slept here?
🥰☺️🙂
Almost certainly did so more than once yes.
Why'd you guys post this episode twice, under different titles?????
Clickbait
hey, who are you? also why dont you list season and ep numbers?
Two stones is 28 pounds.

History 🏰
Why does Time Team allocate only 3 days per dig, even on really impressive sites?
Massive crazy hair in this episode. 😳
Curious. Any idea why some folk in the UK are not allowed to view this episode? I have shared it and some are reporting there is a country block flagging it.
Different licensing, I think some of the episodes are owned by different companies
@@kiwibird8441 Thank you. Yes, we are finding some discrepancies involving BBC and some others that could be causing the blocks. Sad, really.
@Howie Felterbush Thank you. Yes, that was my suggestion and worked in most cases.
BBC has the exclusive license for UK broadcasting. It's standard contract withem. They are a national monopoly that's state sanctioned and sponsored after all.
You wanna broadcast on BBC you agree to them owning all rights in the uk or they deny you permission. Simple as that. something about being the enforcers of the official secrets act and what not
There's Raksha
This same episode is posted with the title "House Of The White Queen"
I like Time Team, but now the stolen content. Time Team finally has their own channel.
Tim taylor, the creator and owner of the content has had a decade to pursue intellectual property rights against these channels. That he has chosen not to negates his rights. That's how IP laws work worldwide. use them or lose them.
Also I just googled and timelines an official licensee of the episodes so scratch the above lol
Why are there figures of S on the brick tower?
Those are used to strengthen weak sections of a wall.
anna zaman I answered you question on the public reply, sorry. Those Ss are braces to strengthen weak areas of a wall.
Basically repair sections distributing the weight. Same principle as an arch just in a flat vertical face rather than for a horizontal wall.
It's also why you are banded layers of stone or brick in towers. Those are called leveling courses and the leveling is to ensure even distribution of down and outward forces.
if you look closely at many medieval structures you will also see holes in those leveling courses. That's where the scaffolding was put in as the structure rose and they were markers for how plumb they were as they rose.
I have a stupid question. After they have gotten done digging, do they rebury it?
Yes they do
Karen Deda I was also wondering that question.
Yes that's why you always see them neatly cutting and squares.
The inclusion of Philippa Gregory as some sort of expert really makes me second guess every bit of information I've ever learned from one of these documentaries.
I figure they bring her in just to bump ratings and otherwise have the sense to ignore her and let the archaeology speak for itself. Because there is no way everyone on that site didn't nearly have their eyes roll out of their heads when she showed up xD
@@kittenclaws5775 That's what I figure too, and I assume they had real researchers giving her lines/making sure she wasn't spewing her usual nonsense. Just annoying then to pretend she's a real researcher with any credit.
@@beemily13 Absolutely agreed. The worst thing is that having read her, she has CLEARLY done the research, she just *chooses* to lie through her teeth. Like, hey, I love Fan Fic, too, but I don't insist on teaching it as canon.
Agreed. Everything she says in this episode is flat-out wrong. According to the Town of Groby's own website, the White Queen never even lived at Groby Old Hall, but rather at Bradgate. If you look closely at the de Ferrers family tree and compare it with the dates the archaeologists attribute to the ruins, you'll find that the only thing the Greys had to do with the archaeology featured in this episode is that they destroyed it and built the brick building that is barely even mentioned at all. This should have been an episode about the de Ferrers dynasty living at Groby, but because a charlatan historical fiction writer was trying to sell a book about a woman who was queen for less than a fortnight, she literally rewrote history, and no one bothered to check its accuracy. This is a prime example of why Mick Aston left the show.
Y’all NEED to make a documentary about Thor. He so popular in the marvel universe, a lot of people would want to see that one
I hope the landowner gets to keep the finds. They belong with the property
Uh no they belong to the British public. They are tangible relics of national importance. That's why the position of county archaeologist exists and each have extensive staffs. Such as Helen geake at the time this was recorded. Or Cardenas who was an employee of the national version. There's very strict laws governing that. Finds belong to the nation not the property owners.
I take it the Grey's are extinct?
Not as long as cousins remain. Those of us via John of Gaunt and Katherine Swinford retain that familial heritage. I am descended through that line (along with other Plantagenet lines). My last name may not be Grey ... but one of my ancestors on my dad's side was named Robert Grey and lived in Massachusetts in Colonial times.
Not at all. The line never died out, just changed names alot.
The Greys are in my family tree, by way of the Wingfields.
So you think this is a group of serious diggers? One wereing Sandals and another with all her fingers with rings!! Ya Diggers or STARS?
If I remember correctly, some of the diggers are volunteers from local schools, universities and communities to help on the digs. They do emphasize that on some of the episodes.
History Hits does NOT have "hundreds" of recorded stuff about history. They have plenty of recorded live-streams but I would prefer to see DOCUMENTARIES about history instead of this character talking for 1.5 to 2.5 hours ABOUT the history with "experts". I don't want to see CONCLUSIONS about history, I can draw those for myself about history based on facts. History Hits TV is for those who want and need their history info pre-digested. I've had more than enough of pre-digested history via high school and university. I don't need it as an adult.
Rich and powerful stay that way through he centuries, while stomping on the "little People". I'm not impressed by your ancient royalty.
This channel block its videos in Germany! A strange understanding of freedom of information! Or you are too much lying so no one can criticize?.
A lot of the guys on this show need a makeover. When you have like only 6% of your hair left, it looks better to just keep it cut short. Go for the Michael Jordan look...
Be happy that Phil isn't wearing his cut-offs!
Nothing wrong with the "ruggedly handsome" look. And not everyone is caught up in valuing fashion over genuineness. I, for one, welcome the crude and raw. lol
Trump could do with a hair transplant 20 years ago wouldn't be Trump tho would it.
