  • Time Team are called to a site that covers several fields and lies between two villages ¿ Wickenby to the west and Lissington to the east.
    It lay hidden for centuries until discovered by a local metal detectorist, Keith Kelway. Over the years Keith has recovered more than 300 metal artefacts from the area. Most are Roman, with some Iron-Age and Anglo-Saxon material.
    Can the Team identify what the site was used for?

    I think it's fascinating that they located the grand hall where the castle owner met with the King of England. Imagine the moment you realize you are standing in an ancient room where the king once was, a room you discovered based on an antique engraving of a slightly more intact ruin, and then you find one of the gold coins that belonged to the man who met with the king in the room you are standing? Amazing.

    Do you ever find yourself wondering who the last person to touch that coin was before it fell into the moat? What was the story around it? Also, the same with those pottery shards. They were probably just normal kitchen vessels, but now that's all that's left behind of what must have been a pretty big population. I wonder what commonplace items we use every day will be a huge, notable find at some dig in 500 years?

    I immediately recognized the de Grey name and checked my family tree. Henry de Grey, Baron Grey of Codnor was my 26th great-grandfather. He hailed from Thurrock
    Grey, Essex. His wife, Isolda Bardolf, was from Hoo, Kent. They appear to be the first de Greys of Codnor. Their son, Richard de Grey of Codnor was my 25th great-grandfather. And yes, our tree cites that Richard "was an English landowner who held many important positions in the reign of Henry III of England." It's already a bit surreal to associate a historical (or even historic) figure with a great-grandparent (think of the sheer number of descendants at this point), and even more surreal to watch this program and see the team work on the castle cited in the family tree history.
    Within two generations, one of Richard de Grey of Codnor's grandsons (and my direct line), Andrew Gray, Lord of Broxmouth (brother of Henry de Grey, 1st Baron of Codnor, who inherited the direct line of the Lords of Codnor), "obtained from King Robert [Bruce of Scotland], for his good and faithful services [in the War of Independence], a grant of several lands", one of which was Broxmouth Castle in Roxburghshire, Scotland. That line spent the next 12 generations in eastern Scotland. And yes, the direct line of the Lords of Codnor continued for another two hundred years. Fascinating stuff.

    Very exciting episode, and not just for the gold coin, either. I love old castles and I'm intrigued by the lives that must have been lived in them centuries ago. That coin probably just fell out of a sack on a wagon or horse as it was going across the drawbridge. And a drawbridge and moat - wow! I honestly thought those things were just a cliché. I suppose so many castles that old haven't survived, so you rarely ever see them anymore. I would love to be on a team of archeologists that was allowed to completely scour that place for as long as it took to complete. No telling what you might find there.

      I realize the American education system is severely lacking, but a word like CLICHE is not that rare, and is actually very useful.

      Looks like it was stamped just yesterday. Obviously it wasn't circulated much, if at all, since there wasn't any apparent wear. Coins I have that are only a 250 years old and of harder material are often worn so much from handling/chainlink coin purse scratches/rubbing against other coinage that it is often a chore even just to interpret the markings/facing/year stamps, despite originating with stampings as crisp and defined as the example coin found. Truly is a benchmark example they located.

      Older people lived through the times of imperial to metric changes so would be more likely to be able to convert more easily than todays school kids who don't have that experience. Most tape measures that you can buy now have both measures and diaries have conversion tables that can help us. I'm 73 and have learnt to practice mental arithmetic and approximation to deal with day to day maths and measurements. But like all skills if you don't use them, you lose them and it's never too late to learn. Sorry got carried away and drifted from the subject. It's an age problem!

      As an autistic myself, with two nephews who are also on the spectrum, Ive had enough first-hand perspective to say with confidence that no two autistics are the same, so using specific terms like "Aspegers" to identify one subgroup of autistics just creates more confusion. The one hard and fast rule is: it is impossible to predict which parts of their brain will be superman-calibre, and which parts will be a 98-pound weakling. The one characteristic that unites us into a single diagnosis is that ALL autistics discover, at some point in their life, that their brain has some specific ability which outperforms that of -mere--mortals- . . . . ermmm . . . excuse me, I mean "normal" people. No doubt Neil owes his fame on Time Team to HIS particular area of skill. Of course, the dark side of the coin is that there are some abilities that normal people master at age 7 or 8, which the autistic may spend an entire lifetime struggling to even weakly imitate.
      GENERALLY speaking (though as I said, all autistics are different) the parts of the brain that tend to be "stronger than normal" usually involve conceptualization, memory, higher level logic (math, science), as well as holistic sensibility (the ability to "see the big picture" -- something Im guessing Neil is particularly good at). Generally speaking the areas that are "weaker than normal" involve interactive communication (back-and-forth, rather than just the ability to make an erudite monologue), social skills, and perceptual abilities (many autistics can "turn off" the outside world even without intending to, and briefly become "unresponsive." Basically, this is why the stereotypical autistic is a social klutz who stutters and is painfully shy.
      Take me, for example. As you can see from this comment, when I can compose text on a keyboard, I APPEAR to be quite eloquent and at least modestly skillful with words.
      When forced to use my lips and tongue, however, I struggle to maintain a continuous string of words for more than two sentences. More usually I will start a sentence and . . . . um. . . what I mean is . . . imagine that you start speaking and . .. its like the train of thought you are on. . . its just . . . its SO FAST . . . that . . . OK, maybe that isnt the best example. . . . What Im trying to say . . . (etc.)
      The difference between what they USED to call Asperger's and what they used to (and still do) call autism is that in Asperger's, while social skills may be very weak, the person is at least able to carry on conversations and maintain basic social interaction. In other words, that part of their brain isnt the part that is underdeveloped, or at any rate, it isnt so weak that your verbal skills are a SERIOUS impediment to normal social life (though Ive yet to meet another autistic who actually ENJOYS trying to interact with other humans).

      I understand better than you think. I was diagnosed with Asperbergers about three years ago after years of useless treatment for depression. I never thought I was depressed because..... I wasn't depressed. I don't actually feel much of anything let alone depression. I communicate well but prefer not to.

    The gold coin was worth more than a serf would earn in a life time...how did it end up in the moat? One can only speculate. More then likely the coin was tossed into the moat, by someone important and of means, sort of a coin toss in the fountain thing,to bring luck or grant a wish.

      Celto Loco Or ...for some unknown reason, it had been balanced on the nose of a dinosaur by aliens who had abducted the dinosaur millions of years earlier- The dinosaur had accidentally come out of suspended animation as their space craft hovered over the castle and had gone on the rampage. In the ensuing struggle, the coin had rolled, unseen, out of the door of the space craft and dropped into the hands of a stable boy called Aethelbright, who thought it had come from God. He couldn't see the space ship due to the cloaking device they were using. He must have dropped to his knees to pray in thanks and knelt on a sharp stone which made him jump in pain and drop the coin which then rolled into the moat...... maybe.
