Mick Aston / The link between castles and priories.

Why are there so many places across the country with a priory within half a mile of a castle? The late, much missed Mick Aston explains the connection between both, and why an "evil" family was buried in the middle of a Carthusian church.

Thank you again Dig Village 😊
The way Mick explained things was such a key part of how myself and probably thousands of people around the world were able to understand our heritage and archeology. Bless you Mick! 🍷 🍷 🍷

TimeTeam was Mick Ashton. We the people around the world loved how Mick put things in layman’s terms so we all could understand archaeology. R.I.P. Mick

Stumbled on to Time Team about 10 days ago- watching at least four each night and a few of the Specials - will start on Season 4 or 5 tomorrow night. Sad to hear of Mick Aston's passing - he sure did like his striped sweaters.

That explains the Hapsburg funeral I saw on RUclips, which ended with the coffin being carried from the cathedral to a monastery where the whole dynasty was entombed.
