Time Team S14-E07 A Tale of Two Villages, Wicken, Northamptonshire

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Wicken, in Northamptonshire, appears to the modern visitor to be a typical English village, complete with church and manor house. But back in the medieval era there were two churches and two manor houses here, making up two separate villages ¿ Wick Hamon and Wick Dive.
The residents of modern-day Wicken were curious to learn why there used to be two villages here, and what happened to the church and other parts of Wick Hamon that have long since disappeared. They also wanted to discover which was the older part of the village and whatever else Time Team could tell them about its past.
As usual, Tony Robinson and the Team had just three days to dig up the answers.
So grateful for the work Reijer puts into this channel. I love Time Team and sometimes just watch these all day long!
I'd like to second this. In fact, I'd like to thank someone else too. I'd like to personally thank Helen for discarding that shirt and instead wearing that shirt-like piece of cloth instead. She did the English proud in that, for sure.
Just to say thank you Reijer for all the time you have spent on putting these programmes on You Tube.
Me too, alot of effort with alot of good viewing. Thanks.
I'll second that motion I have enjoyed each and every episode thank you for putting them up
I wrote a letter in 2015 to Philip Harding. AND HE WROTE BACK! I was about to explode with happiness!
+1234kalmar I love Phil, how nice of him. What a great guy!
that is so cool!
+1234kalmar How did you find his address? I would love to write to him.
Donna Perez I wrote to his workplace and asked them to forward it. I don't recall where from the top of my head, but it's on wikipedia.

I love the pottery bloke Paul. First time I see him on this program he was wearing a Ramones T-shirt. What a mix lol
And he rides a BMW motorcycle. Doesn't he have the most wonderful, resonant speaking voice, too?
Lol was just gonna say he rides a sweet motorcycle but someone already did. Dudes a punk rocker that loves pottery!
@@haplessasshole9615 sadly that voice is no more, when he announced that he would be coming back for the 2022-2023 season of Time Team, he revealed that he had throat cancer surgery and now can only speak with some sort of artificial voice box thing...
I learn more about archaeology in one Time Team episode then I did in 3 years of college courses.
I've been watching *Time Team* over the past few months. It's a great way to stay sane during this age of COVID. I've never taken any archaeology classes, and I had wondered whether I had learned as much as I thought I had. I've learned a lot about the terminology of architecture, dating of bricks, spotting crop marks, and modern archaeology techniques. And I've learned a little about archaeological etiquette: One never steps into a trench without asking the supervisor first. It's like with boats -- "Permission to come aboard, sir!" Not surprising, given the UK's strong nautical tradition.
I know we have some time commented on the level of respect shown to the burials. Some of us have commented we'd like it to be better. I always like to see Jackie - I think it was sometime in season 13 that she was trying to pull out part of a skull (iirc) and she very softly and sweetly said, "come along, sweetheart". I like that.
Yes, well said!
that was the episode where she found the 3 to 4 year old girl and was getting her ligted to have her interred in church approved grounds ... she was part of the show with 5 or 6 burials all jumbled together and on top of each other but hers was pristine and undisturbed ...
I've noticed her murmuring things like that more than once. In fact, by Season 11, whenever I saw a woman crouching in a trench, wearing something printed with skulls and crossbones, I began thinking, "Oh, look -- Jackie McKinley. I wonder if she's going to talk to any skulls?" Maybe I'm reading more into what I see than there really is, but it seems to me that her body language and the way she handles *any* bones (but especially skulls) indicates more than just cautious handling due to the bones' fragility. There seems to be an element of tenderness and respect there that you don't see in the other osteoarchaeologists who have appeared on the show.
Summer weather, plus archaeology, are definitely two of my favourite things.
Tony: "I know you're not allowed to hurry, but can you do the thing that archaeologists do that's like hurrying?"
Wouldn't it be great to sit down and have a pint with THE TT gang! 😁
If I had a Roman coin for every time Tony says "it's so frustrating" in all the seasons I'd be as rich as Croesus (yes, I know I'm mixing metaphors). There's something frustrating about getting excited for the finds and Tony comes along and says "yeah but it's so frustrating because you haven't found ...yadda yadda". That being said I love the enthusiasm and love for the work the archaeologists have!
ah well. its early doors...
And Phil always says “ the crucial thing is” and “crucially yada yada”.
For anyone who is interested, those bones were radio-carbon dated between 1240-1400 AD. So sadly they weren't late Saxon.
@alanrtment porter I wondered the same thing. If I may offer a suggestion; search the Web for Wessex Archaeology report Ref: 62508.01 dated Feb 2008. The radiocarbon data can be found in Table 6 on page 38.
Their 3 Day Rule keeps them from getting down to most of the early Saxon finds + they were largely biodegradable.
I get more excited about the Bronze age, pre-Germanic Invasions. The Original English.

Time Team is one of the greatest shows ever made in my opinion. Tony's choice of shorts and shirt....I'm not so sure about
Shirt and shorts - are you thinking it might be more of a Baldrick thing?
That´s one of the greatest things of the series: people are authentic.
helens choice ... well };)
...to seek out old pottery from old civilizations. To boldly dig where no-one has dug before!
Tony's on fire in this series "Oh miles, it's a television term, it means yards"
You gotta love Phil: @17:00 "If you'd've stayed around a bit longer and not skoived arf as you ded...." :)
Even though I am not sure where the village of Wicken is in Northamptonshire I am not surprised that Saxon finds were discovered. I come from Northamptonshire, Earls Barton, which has a Saxon tower, its battlements were added later. The nave is Norman, presumably the chancel too but that may be a later extension to the nave. The side aisles were added later (cannot remember when but I think they were 12-13th century or even later). I attended the church as a child and teenager, as well as an adult when I had a weekend off (I was a student nurse so weekends were a rarity! I performed in my first nativity aged 3 and the last at 16, I am not certain but in the interim I do not think I missed one. Earls Barton is between Northampton, the county town and Wellingborough which is 10 miles away and during my childhood would have been the third in size in the county.
Thank you Reijer
I love TT and I don't even live in UK, not even from UK! I live in DK and I must say, I feel this connection between our countries. Love exploring UK. Been there several times and yet with more visits to come!
Phil does archeology to support his flint habit. Not a bad life.
brian554xx 😁👍🏼
And beer. Give him flint, a good hat, a pair of cut-off jeans, and a beer, and Phil Harding's a happy man.
@@haplessasshole9615 don't forget his guitar xd
I love how they reveal that there Roman finds with-in the general boundaries of the villages, nonchalantly, almost 5/6s of the way through the episode.
I'd be curious to know how many Victorian cloth dye patterns are directly lifted from medieval tilers floor designs.
A ""lace end" is called an ""aglet''".
Such a good presentation...yet would be nice to hear who made the ale, whose recipes it was, who decided where gardens would go, who were the ones who gathered such things as withies and rush, who made the clothing all the males were running around in. So much left out. How come women don't show up in archeology.
Does Phil have a new hat!? There’s no feather and no stains! What is happening?
Phil replaced it a few episodes before this one. Forgot which one butt Tony opened up the show by asking Phil about it.
37:03 you get a fraction of a second to witness Mick actually running :O haha
They do have expert eyes, but it would be hilarious to see them find something, get all excited and then discover it is just a flattened bottle cap.
+Ed Ram it happened in the next episode :)
It never ceases to amaze me when they show a 1cm square of 'something', and say this is a piece of pot from such & such a date. Especially when it's still filthy. Having studied general art history over the years while pursuing art & design courses, i truly appreciate the breadth of their knowledge, such as Helen, not only knowing immediately that Phil had a lace end, but also be able to date it.
When I first started watching TT back in the day I had it bad for Carenza, but I have to say Helen is pretty easy on the eyes too
Both are beautiful
And so is Jonathan Foyle
Always nice to see Sam. He doesn’t show up very often.
The church crop marks at 18:25ish are clear on Google maps as well as some other interesting marks.
TT has such a great collection of English🌹 🌹

How many are watching in 2017 ? Helen has never looked lovelier.
yeah shes a cutey...love the hair.
I'm watching in 2018!
It’s almost 2019...
@@erikasantoshafitness348 It is 2019!!!
2019 and yes she does :)
29:56 omg,, yummmmmmmmmy
Tell me I'm not the only one who kind of cringes when the show credits start to roll at the end, and then we have the ad for the upcoming TV show, Shipwrecked. "From the sublime to the ridiculous" lol
At least the station left the credits readable… I hate it when they are minimized (a la Netflix) and you can't make out any of the names of the people to whom we should give thanks for creating the show.
"We're having to dig it very slow and very carefully" Cut to Raksha using a pick ax.
Strange seeing someone in rural England sporting a "U" Miami ballcap.
maybe it has an archaeology student swap program with their alma mater
It's called fashion
After seeing Tony's legs in the opening of this people need too leave phil and his legs and shorts alone lmao
hehe "church and manor house was completely rebuilt in the 17th century" so 400+ yrs and they are still looking great..
dont make em like they use to.
Medieval aglet!!! What a find.
A really fun project!
What's a hot day in England, 75 F?
+Bryon Lape I know what you mean, Last of The Summer Wine they're always wearing full suits with longjohns under them.
21:38 when they freeze frame the guy with the most British smile possible, Photoshop off his glasses ans superimpose a replica pair of the bone glasses they just found onto his face...
Who is the digger in deadlocks?
Great programme what's with the denim shorts though
Here are those poor bones lying still in the ground, bothering no one, when gradually, after what seems like forever, it gets lighter, the grave opens, and what you think are the trumpets of heaven (halle-effing-lujah!) is only Phil shouting "Have a look at this!"
“Slight earthworks are difficult to see “ Really, Tony
They only have three days because most of them have "day jobs" at universities and the like.
First aired February 25, 2007.
A problem with sound quality on this one, background drowns out the conversation!
One of the things that is noticeable is they always refer to the earlier people as Saxons yet in Northamptonshire it would be more likely to be Angles. Is this a matter of fact, convenience or that their were no defining features that differentiated the German tribes.
john mcewen time period is what they re fee to.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
I get it!! I get the joke! (I feel so smart now LOL don’t ruin it for me)
Sort of OT and I'm going to sound like a terrible snob here but this village looks so beautiful.....or at least it _would_ do were it not scarred by the smattering of crap, pokey new-builds dotted around.
How they ever got planning permission one can only speculate but I'll wager the old 'brown envelope stuffed with used notes sent to the local planning authority' method was likely utilised at some point! ;)
I bet on post - war urgency
💚
why wouldn't they have just waited til after the wheat harvest?
With at least 13 sites (plus any specials) a year to dig I imagine it was not possible to schedule the excavations at any other time of the year.
So is orientated how they say it in Britain? In the US it's oriented. Just curious....
Both words are acceptable but oriented is the preferred version. See writingexplained.org/oriented-vs-orientated-difference
Also different UK English spoken dialects often change words according to local accents. Like Phil with his west country accent.
Watch a TT episode with the subtitles switched on and see the auto typer struggle with the way that various words are spoken.
To proceed with a sense of extreme urgency, or with all due haste. is what I think Tony was asking Raksha to do.
10:42 Cue the .....
Ooh, man, dig that crazy chick.

In the opening scene; were they drinking WATER?
I don't understand. I asked WHAT they were drinking and you explained WHY they were drinking. I have seen them drink berfore. For many reasons. But never WATER.
Common scents would just say Wick is smaller than it once was.
@alanrtment porter a nose for old shit
@alanrtment porter a nose for old stuff
De Dive Beuglin/De Rivers companions of William of Normandy from The river Dive area in Normandy possibly Seamen/fishermen . . .a gift from William?
"Queenie"?
Is there a "Nursey" as well...(Blackadder 2 reference)
one thing wrong with Helen Geake ... she's not single ... otherwise she is a definite hottie ...
It's a pity they couldn't wait until the farmer has harvested his crop. :((
farmer likely got some compensation
Chris Pascoe they are “invited”
Why didn't the geo phys the field?
Paul Blinkhorn is my guy.
how come they only have 3 days on there digs,,looks like they could make a summer out of it,,,,each one
David Frobel Celto Loco is correct in her reply. To add to that... They are doing what all archaeology is at the start of a site. They go in and do an evaluation of the site...it helps them find future sites, and it's all documented thoroughly. Then when funds are raised for a longer dig, a team goes in and completes the research. Many archaeologists have said that without Time Team there would be many historically significant sites that would still be unknown today. Without the funding behind the TV show aspect of it, they wouldn't necessarily be able to utilize all the technology for regular digs, either.
I'm sorry... I took a guess! LOL I'm not that good with foreign languages!
Am I forgiven?
Yeah, you would think that I would have thought of the o/a ending, considering I was married to a Cuban! That's why my last name is Perez. I live in the US, Wisconsin actually. I watch all the history shows I can, UK seems to have the best documentaries around though. I would love to be able to see some about the area of Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries as that is my heritage. All I've been able to find is about the elite people, and the wars, nothing about the culture and the people. It's a good thing I like to read though! LOL
+Donna Perez oh I didn't think there were enough car chases or explosions in this show to keep a American interested
+Sam Johnstone For the average American, you are probably right. Thankfully, my Mom taught me to love to read. She also did the same for my daughter. Now my grandchildren all go to bed with at least 5 books so they can read until they fall asleep. I don't have a television service and neither does my daughter's family. My 5 year old granddaughter is learning Greek and Latin. We're not all empty-headed wastrels here in the US.
Three days to find out whats up with those shorts Tony.
Oh no, the “ shorts” police are here.
Summer is hot, short shorts are better
Where is Northhamtonshirevilledelldalechester? And why do English cities have inordinately long names? heh...
Just after 9 minutes Tony 'and most importantly if it was built on an earlier Saxon church' me 'and most importantly for the farmer, it'll get those darn rocks outa the way.'
My British isn't very good, are they saying "cesspit" or "test pit?"
I hope Raksah and Matt got married. They are fine couple.
30:13 Pimm's!
There arr poe stoles...
The original name literally meant "town next to the Roman ruins". They even anglicized the Latin word. man humans have NEVER been creative at naming things lol
I wonder how they reckon deve out of dive. Do they deve off of deeving boards there too or do they call them diving boards?
French name, French pronunciation.
At this point after 14 years of Time Team one thing is for certain. They all got fatter, except for Helen.
Stuart?
My God sir could you get those shorts any shorter
So are there other episodes of this where you're not constantly saying no s***?
They need to keep it somewhat understandable for the masses....
Yes.
Erm... Raskha, you look very ehm.....forward when shot from that angle. (37:26)
Not complaining, just saying.
29:54 got my attention.
Sexist rubbish
Susan Donovan
I love being sexist toward women
Susan Donovan I am so sick of my fellow women jumping up and down screaming "sexism"... it's called attraction! Without it we'd all be lonely! He didn't say anything about her being a poor archaeologist because she's a woman, he didn't say she was stupid....just that he found her attractive! He didn't say he was going to hunt her down and try and have sex with her either! Relax!
I stand by my comment. I'm tired of sexism, it's easy enough to NOT be sexist so why is it a big deal? But everyone is free to do what they wish AND I'm free to be critical. I feel great about it.
33:40 "..discovering all sorts of details". "Beautiful isn't it", then suddenly SCRAPE, SCRAPE, SCRAPE like someone's live depends on it. Seems she doesn't mind damaging artifacts. Shame.
At one point, Tony Robinson rants on about having to dig very carefully. The next scene shows Raksha hacking away at the sight with a very heavy tool to remove soil from that place. Tony said in another episode something about an amount and a quantity of something. As much as I like the series, some of his "errors" make me shudder at his poor use of the English language. As well, he very often personalises his comments by saying things like, "It seems to me,..." without his having the background to make such qualified remarks.
He is representing the common viewer and the questions they might ask.
He can be arrogant, but he is a quick study. And I think he does a good job of describing what's happening on a given site.
english? look up site and sight
@@marthareis5873
Equally he'd been a good amateur archæologist even before *Time Team* started.
@@ianrutherford878 Pardon? Site is the correct usage.
I am in love with Stewie! He's always right.
rachelle e; I love all of them at different times, but his hand gestures are the best. There are time I get caught up in watching his hands and have to go back and re-listen to what he/they said. :-)
I´m appreciating Paul more and more each time he´s on. That voice!
Old tony is the spit of Jason Mariners half brother Alfonso ..dont ya think???
