- When Stephen and Stephanie Fry bought a few acres of prime Somerset pasture to graze their horses, they inadvertently also bought the remains of Buck Mill, an 18th-century water mill. However, as Stephanie began to look into its history, she realised that there may have been a flour mill on the site since Domesday. So, she called in Tony Robinson and the team to help her unravel the mystery of their mill.

What I learned today is that the souvenir shop at West Stow produces high enough quality replicas to briefly confuse an actual expert. That's a pretty good endorsement.
I love how they still called it "the inscription on the bottom", just like something actually 1000 years old.
@@sIightIybored Every time I watch Helen do that scene I'm more impressed by how straight-faced she delivers her lines. Whether scripted, first take, or the result of multiple takes, she leads us on as if it's a genuine ancient find. I think she knew when it was first uncovered that it was a replica because of the smirk but whatever the scene is, for me, one of the funniest Time Team moments.
Well, some of us haven't seen any of it yet, are very glad as newbies to see this, so people, please take that on board and stop complaining.
Exactly..I'm sick of reading Comments saying why didn't you do this why didn't you do that.I want to see this I want to see that.Moan moan moan that's all you get out of them they'll never be happy no matter what TT do and they act like entitled spoilt children..SMH
Stop reading then because people find the most God awful tiny crap to complain about on here.

There's about 11 series on channel4 od if you want to watch them 👍
I love this episode! 🥳 I don't care if it's been uploaded before. Good archeology is always worth watching again❤️ thank you Time Team!
I am new too. I have been watching on youtube for two years. I love it!! Greetings from Lower Bavaria, a region east of Munich in Germany! 💙💜
Hello from AZ USA
America cant hold a candle to the greatness of Britain!
Newbie... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW.... USA❤❤
Seen this before but who cares. Fantastic episode. Grateful thanks from NZ.
This site had a lot of potential. Have to wonder if anyone dug the rest of it out of curiousity.
I find myself wondering that with many of their digs.
Why is it they only ever get three days?
@@shvelgud they are asked to do exploratory digs, if there is interesting Archeology found a local group will continue with excavation. TT archeologists are fulltime academics who do this on their weekends hence 3 day digs.
@@katerinakemp5701 awesome thank you
@@shvelgudbecause the team all had jobs in government and academia Monday through thursday
love the way the whole team gel together and interact with each other...like one big happy family.....
The vibe our real families don't have haha
Yeah, I've seen all Episodes available at YT. I love Time Team. Personaly I walk with a Metal Detector surching for Historical Finds but I do not keep them. I work together with an Archaelogist so every interesting Find is marked with GPS Coordinates and given to him. I wish I could dig with the Time Team Members and learn much more Details about Pottery.
Wow, that's rare, and good to see. Keep up the good work!
I've been detecting all over the UK for 32 years now and I've got tons of stuff in my loft and I really need to get them looked at by an expert really..
Look up digventures. They take volunteers all the time. And you might get to meet Raksha Dave if she still works there.
Hello from Connecticut USA! LOVE this show! ❤️🤩
8:14….while everyone’s off for lunch…my man Phil is still digging away for clues and finds…all that passion for archaeology even after all these years….Tony is in a way right…Phil is a nutcase….but it’s exactly the kind of nutcase I have come to love and admire after watching and rewatching time team…
Michael Antony Aston FSA 1 July 1946 - 24 June 2013
There was a lovely bunch of flowers put on his grave in June to mark the decade anniversary of his passing by random fans. It was very sweet and his family was highly appreciative.
This may be one of my favorites of the later episodes!
Hello from Virginia USA I love Time Team!
Also from Virginia, Tidewater area!! We actually have some archeology here!!
What a great bunch of people....love time team
Ohhh arrre Tony I power my house off a water wheel... Stone the crows it's free energy!
This is a great episode. I can't help wondering if anyone's been back to look for the other two mills 😂 I do hope you'll upload the Bamburgh Castle episode from this season at some point.
Another great episode 👏
Matt had about as much fun as when he was a slave in the last episode
Don't feel too bad for Matt he's since led his own digs and is a senior and respected full time archaeologist at Wessex archaeology.
A great sport.
Love time team!
So sorry to have lost archaeologist Mick Aston , artist Victor Ambrus
Love this stuff!! More
ah, the lovely Faye...
Mick's really pulling the Mad Professor look off here 🤣
But, did Mick ever find out?
They should do longer shows then 3 days
Can you imagine the story that reproduction Anglo-Saxon Combe has to tell. Was it dropped by the previous mill owners? Left by someone exploring the ruins? Or was it left as a red herring for the anticipated dig? Either way, that would have fooled anyone for a brief moment. Great episode 👍
Incredibly rare to find them in good condition, i knew immediately it wasn't actually Anglo-Saxon. I mean what would an Anglo-Saxon combe be doing above a stone floor.
@@Stroke999 When Helen described with a straight face what she clearly knew was a reproduction comb to Tony it was a great piece of television. Whether it was a first or fifth take the glee with which she read out the date and where it was purchased came through beautifully.
how on earth did you get Derek Jacobi to pitch in with being a Mill Expert? :P
🙏
One thing for sure If there is a place that I think that they should dig in Britain it has to be this village called sefton and it’s in the ceremonial county of merseyside and I am interested in this place because on my paternal grandmothers grandmother you see her maiden name was sefton and her ancestors might have lived there but even more interesting to me is that local folklore has it that sefton hall a loyalist stronghold was the scene of a skirmish during the English civil war but even more interesting to me is that the village of sefton is referenced in the domesday book and at the time of the domesday book sefton was in the possession of Anglo Norman aristocrat Roger of Poitou and he is important as his father Roger the great 1st Earl of Shrewsbury and Arundel and roger the great was one of William the conqueror’s top generals and roger of Poitou is interesting as he supported king William the second’s invasion of Cumbria but he also led a military force against bishop William de st Calais of Durham and he was sent to hold the castle at argentan and Roger surrendered the castle to king Philip the first of France and afterwards he decided to join the rebellion of Duke Robert Courthouse of Normandy who was a veteran of the first crusade and the rebellion was against Roberts his youngest brother his father’s 4th born son aka King Henry the first of England.
Email Tim Taylor the series producer and creator. Not sure his email address but maybe if you are on the Time Team patreon or the website you'll be able to find him. I don't think him or anyone associated with him checks the comment section on classic videos.
@@Tiger89Lilly okay.
I live in SEFTON and I go metal detecting all around here..
maybe throw in some punctuation now and then. if you're emailing them.
@@Budehgong oh okay
Just a thought, what would these guys do if they dug into my flint collection? There would also be a collection of musket balls and many other collectibles found in a corn field.
I go metal detecting all over the UK and musket balls are the common things I find as well as coins and Roman broaches.But when I find them now I just either leave them in the fields or take them out and dump them .
@@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 There was a case a few decades ago where people dug into a buried collection of arrowheads. We had a laugh as the "specialists" thought it was a Indian graveyard rather than a kid's collection. Those same specialists thought they found a stone staircase up a hill, but it turned out to be a pile of rocks thrown out of a corn field. Specialist means someone with an acute opinion and insanity can be in the formula.
@@kensmith8832 Absolutely 😂

Isn't Helen lovely

The museum shop at West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village is a great place to find the perfect, thoughtful gift or souvenir.The shop is open to the general public and free to enter.
New in: Beautifully designed fair trade cups made from rice husk, no plastic, 100% biodegradable, suitable for microwave and dishwasher.
Turns out that comb was made by none other than the cunning artificer, Bernard Pearson!
How can this premier 2 hours ago and I seen this already 1.5 years ago?
Shown on TV March 2007, uploaded by some individual in bad quality years ago which you saw, uploaded by Time Team themselves now.
Troll. Do you only come here to moan ?
Because
What is doomsday in the architectural world?
Written by the Norman's to show all the properties an values of lands they had conquered.
And ' buckmill ' should kinda given a hint.
Buckwheat is still a cereal grain.
@@joshschneider9766 well they addressed that the area wasn't a cereal growing area.
@@markgarin6355 Perhaps not the immediate area (a mile or so) but beyond that cereal crops were and still are grown. The area has a lot of history and was well populated so I expect the people used the mill for grain as well as cider apples.
Plastic so fantastic 😉😝
oooh Bea's jhad folk and rightly so.
Hello, I would like my ancestral Mill back please
The homunculus returns..
I don't mind watching commercials to pay for my viewing, but do they have to be the most repulsive commercials that U Tube can find?
ublock is all you need
Let me know when you are going to be posting new videos, not repeating ones. This was posted a year ago to this channel and all you did was add the Domesday Mill part. Which you took from another episode that you posted to this channel 8 months. Changing the title doesn't make it a "Premier" or a new episode. It seems like all these "new" episodes are just repost with name of the episode changed.
have they? theres an episode about a Domesday mill from season 14 that is here, but this is from season 18.
@@jeran42 that's the one that's 8 months old, go down to where the vids are a year old, it'll say Buck Mill, Sommerset
@@jimkillip4156 comparing that episode and another upload of Series 18 Episode 10 on a different channel, they are 2 different episodes, one in dartmoor, and the other in Somerset!
@@jeran42 This is the episode I'm talking about from a year ago, on this channel, tell me what the description says? ruclips.net/video/sodkykQ5-Lc/видео.html
In case it's not obvious, it's being re-uploaded in more than 720 potatoes, IF trend follows. Stop complaining for FREE stuff. Chris Hemsworth, some people are so freaking entitled, they can't even see they're already passed through their ass once. IT'S FREE, you're paying NOTHING, other than your internet subscription, IF you're not freeloading off someone else.
If you don't like it, bypass it, go watch something else and if you can't say something nice, just freaking shut up, stop being a troll.
What's the point of reposting videos you've already posted?
Who is "you"?
Another troll.
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff Me myself and I 😏👍
I lost the will to live during this episode. Dullsville.
Eh? It's full of interest, banter and chemistry...
I've only recently discovered time team, being a Carpenter that specializes in historic restorations I find it fascinating, all history for that matter. For those of you that have already seen it don't want it again 😉👍☮️🇺🇲
John Benjafield and his wife Marjorie (née Norrish) were my 6x Great Grandparents so I loved this episode!
What a wonderful glimpse into your family history. I guess we should call you Mr Miller hehe
Hello from Massachusetts, I am also a newbie (three years) and am very thankful to see every episode. I truely believe there is something for everyone on Time Team. Thanks Farmer Rich.
Fantastic stuff as always. Really, really appreciated, many thanks.
I love watching these programs and archeology in general... I think it's so important to understand human history, so as to understand humanity itself as a whole... as a hole..haha.. is life just one big mill race? Sorry...
I have seen this episode before, but I utterly love industrial history. This is one of just a small handful of episodes where the Time Team tackles industrial sites. I much prefer this content to yet another Roman villa.
Yeah starting to get bored with ROMAN HISTORY in BRITAN..
TONY..Everyone has has gone to lunch except PHIL whos a bit of a nutcase 😂😂😂
I love the industrial episodes.
However, like most time teams, I looked at the site with the NLS side by side maps, and couldn't help but notice that the 1892 OS map not only shows you where the sluice is, but also where the leets were. It also tells you that it was a farm back then. Could have saved you a couple days there.
Thank you Professor
I think they knew that it's Television don't forget..
To Time Team Official, as part of your answer to Jim Killip you stated: "We're in the process of making as many Classic episodes available to as many people as possible, while reviewing/updating/relabelling/fixing earlier posts as necessary to bring things up to date. "
It would be nice if you were also able to update what happened to the site in the preceding years e.g. any other digs? other information gained from further results from the dig? Results reviewed and changed?
Just a thought. I would certainly watch any additional information that was gleaned from any of the digs. Or maybe put the reports on-line.
Also, if you could improve the quality of the closed captioning that would be great. The closed captioning on most of these episodes is awful, and that's putting it kindly.
Hi. On our other channel, we have almost 50 official episode commentaries to accompany episodes featured here on Time Team Classics: ruclips.net/p/PLLgeHX3kbVxSJXUFEtsFZ_ldjfQsoyp-H
The current close captioning is RUclips's own automated service, which we appreciate will often provide some interesting interpretations! It would be great to review and update these when we can.
@@TimeTeamOfficial If you could figure out a way to let volunteers help caption videos (i know youtube used to let you do this but not anymore) then I'd love to volunteer some time and I'm sure others would as well!
@@monster-teeth5378 Yes, I would volunteer to add captions.
My favourite episode, I've been wanting this one for so long.
They only need a couple hundred more Patreons for 3 more new episodes. Just saying.
I’m finding the new programmes hard to find!!!! Older person who has followed Time Team for years but try as I might cannot find the new series.
@@sherrylelee8274 To find them they are uploaded on the Time Team Official youtube channel. The channel is linked in the description of this very video. There are currently only 2 new digs though. If they get to 8000 patreons we can get 3 more digs this year.
@@Gandalf22476we made the goal. Thanks for spreading the word. Onwards to ten thousand now!
So weird it must have been very important for so long and almost no records about it exist.
Why is it pronounced "doomsday" yet spelt as "Domesday"?
Could someone explain what they mean when they say Doomsday in this episode? I'm from America and it's obvious it doesn't just mean like "end times" like it does over here. I tried researching it online but didn't come up with much.
It refers to the Domesday (doomsday) Book which was a 'great survey' of parts of Britain in 1086 by William I (The Conqueror). It was basically a census to find out who owed what in terms of taxes and how much people were earning to see if the crown couldn't squeeze a few more pennies out of them or where power / status lay so that land could be redistributed. Some things never change... ;)
@@dav616 thank you! So basically it was the first big record of what was what in terms of land ownership?
@@monster-teeth5378 Yeah pretty much, partly to do with land ownership after the Norman Conquest and partly to do with outstanding taxes owed from when Edward The confessor was King. It's referenced in quite a lot of Time Team episodes as an information source.
Thanks
When one considers the natural springs in the area before Wessex Water took posession of them and rerouted the water one can see why there was a mill built on the site.
I think this is the third time I’ve watched this episode. 😂
Love Micks new cap!
Great episode but so many ads, some over 5 mins long 😭
Ad blockers rock.
"Phil of course being a bit of a nutcase." - Tony .......lol :o)
How much more lively and fun the old series are compared to the new. The new is flat and dead compared to the old. Sadly. Good to see the old again here though :o)
I agree it's good to see the old, but (pause a beat here as all the Brits I hear say 'but' and 'however' and pause) give the new some time to evolve. After all the first year of Time Team was only about 3 or 4 episodes.
Love that Phil!
Archeologists are in a unique situation.
Whilst there alive their Archeologists, when they pass their Archeology. Lol.
I find that interesting.
Regarding 41:35 comment about not smoking in a mill, I recall reading somewhere that the dust concentration level required to support an explosion would not allow you to breath.
The concentration of dust required for an explosion really doesnt take much. Dropping a bag, a misdirected shovelful, and add to that the appalling working conditions prevalent until relatively recently....
POOF-BOOM wasnt all that far away.
Yeah that happens with sugar as well
No open flames for sure
Is there a reason why they only ever do three days.
Mick had teaching duties at University and others had similar jobs.
@@scribbleknit many thanks.
Think the Miller probably robbed a bank to come up with his riches.
Another video that’s more adverts than content!
You can block the ads
I dont get ads at all?
Everything about this episode seemed “convenient” a bucket that was always removed from the mills just “happened” too be there and an ‘Anglo-Saxon comb” just laying in the wide open on top of soft undisturbed soil.., as well as not a single actual professional expert in sight... and nothing but staff around.., can anyone say this episode was staged af 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Not a single professional expert, apart from ALL THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERT ARCHEOLOGISTS
