The team descend upon a field just outside Bath to investigate the remains of what could have been one of the country's grandest Georgian houses. An impressive set of stone arches is all that remains of the house built 200 years ago by local MP Sir Francis Popham, but a couple of paintings show the building in its prime. If they are to be believed, it could have been mistaken for Buckingham Palace.

I love how Stuart always puts everything in context in the landscape
Makes one wonder why they do not ask him in the beginning as opposed to the end, save themselves a lot of work,hahaha
His name is Stewart.
Wohoo! I’ve been watching one or two a day since January. Recently archeology has been creeping into my dreams too! Once Mick was in my kitchen asking for a biscuit to go with his cuppa ☺️
Can you imagine mick and Tony just knocking on your door and asking to dig a giant hole in the yard lol
@@joshschneider9766 I'd be saying yes before they could finish asking. Then I would help dig any and all areas they wanted. Would also probably continue after the 3 days are up because I love history and would want to properly preserve and record all of it.
Lol i dreamt I was swimming with the whales with the Time Team crew and then John Gater and I were walking on the ocean floor! Have I been watching too much Time Team I wonder? Pretty sure there's no such thing as too much Time team Haha
@@Spartan265 heh id suggest leaving the actual trenching to the professional archaeologists. id have never noticed three quarters of the stains in the ground lol
@@joshschneider9766 I would definitely be demamding that i get to give a helping hand in the whole adventure.😊
Thank you Tim Taylor for bringing these back into the public eye!
Home improvement?
Best discovery of the whole pandemic. Time Team episodes about everything from Mesolithic to modern.
Georgian mansion? So interesting to see how people managed to upscale and disguise.
More Time Team! Please!!!
Look for Reijer Zaaijer on TH-cam - he uploaded most of the whole series a few years ago.
Panhahahademic....sheep
Thank you for the tip, having viewed all there is on this channel I'm now rewatching favourites, but I feel like a kid who's lost their favourite toy.
@@julanesutton9626 I think Seasons 9, 10, 11 are the best. Really content-rich and they hadn't begun to add fake "conflict" - check them out!
@@lisakilmer2667 Yep, thanks
Whomever did the "Production Prep, "all the necessary city/county approvals and paperwork", all the pre-planning to each subject, and then, all the Footage editing, were truly working as hard as any "digger" and they get totally overlooked by the unaware audience.
*This series also had to be managed by some effective and efficient Executives.*
Amazing magic to pull off 3-day Digs, film them, and be appealing to an audience for some 20 +/- seasons.
Yep, they definitely are Award Worthy!
I've recently been looking into records about local history thanks to TT rekindling my interest, and even with so much information available digitally - and the ability to search digitally - I have even more respect for the researchers and archivists than I did before. Sourcing records and maps, obtaining copies and often having parts enlarged, seems to still be quite a task even now, yet before digital archives were available it must have been infinitely more time-consuming and difficult. We always see the old maps and records on the programmes but not the effort that went into finding them. Add to that all the other areas you mention, my mind boggles at how much work it all must have been.

Few realize the vast energy behind the scenes. The unsung hero's for sure!
Why is it so satisfying to watch people talk about stuff they have knowledge about?
"I've been slapped in the face by the wet haddock of reality' is probably one of the top sayings to come out of this show lol
Time team is the best show ever! We watch an episode every Sunday :)
Well if Time Team is going to come back, Stuart's Elizabethan mansion would be an interesting dig.
Would be nice to see done ..
@@coppertopv365 stuart ainsworth owns an elizabethan mansion?
@@joshschneider9766
Your Funny! Watch the Show.. he found where it was Located.. they didn't have time to look ..
@@joshschneider9766 that's what I thought he meant😂😂😂
@@darthpaul490 🙏🙄 LORD !!
Tony starting on a horse. I'll say again, the greatest youtube channel. Can't wait for the new stuff Time Team. The classics are superb.
I used to watch this show ironically, now it's an everyday thing...
SAME
There was never a better cast brought together than TT. Not even Dad's Army got close! Thank you TT you have made my life better than it could otherwise have been.
Only fools and horse's
Really really cool to see time team digging up my family's old gaff! the names mentioned here are in my family tree, and that goes back to 1160, I feel drawn to go and visit the place now
Please don't, you'll probably be really irritating about the whole thing.
"Old gaff" 🤣🤣🤣
Pls
Hey! Did you go for a visit?
@@blasphemertheseventh no, Things have taken a turn for the worse
As an American living in the distant colony, California, I have no idea why I am so enthralled watching a bunch of delightfully quirky adults digging bric-a-brac from ancient English fields. I suppose it's because Time Team offers such a refreshing, quality contrast to the mind-draining trash that's offered elsewhere. It continues to be a fascinating learning experience and I am hopelessly addicted to the ever-changing content above and below ground (and water) level. What a fabulous body of work! Keep digging, please!
Amen 🙏
I agree (as another California colony resident), I just love watching this show!
Because when we find old stuff in the ground, it's from like 1920 and we're like amazed they're talking Neolithic era here. It is amazing. I also live in California. This I can't get enough of the show. It's crazy how old this stuff is and they're just like it's only 1400 years and I'm not thinking 40 years and I'm like over the moon that's why
Are you referring to California as a colony of Spain? It was never a British colony. Just saying.
No, not an English colony. But some family members were from England and Scotland, so I guess that's what I meant. Thanks for the note --Jeff@@pattysue2516
struck Gold...thought i had seen every episode at least twice....this was a new find
I do not remember any other time they could dig with such abandon. Hurray for digging and discoveries!
I feel i’m there with you all. It’s Christmas day here in sydney Australia 🇦🇺 I love watching you all preparing for Christmas eve.
Merry Christmas to you all!
Love the humor😄and the content😍!!
Love Time Team and Tony Robinson narrating
One can always solve the dating issues with chocolate's and flowers haha
Thank you you guys for the awesome videos
I may not be as mobile as I used to be but I would love to be part of the discovery
I've watched Francis Pryor before, on "Britain BC and AD" on TH-cam. And I somehow found Time Team, with its knowledgeable and hilarious archeologists. Phil probably talks like some of my ancestors, who I think originally were from Norfolk, probably farmers, with the name Marler. (I think every farmer in England knew one Marler or another.) This series is addicting. Thank you, Time Team! 🙂Going now to watch something about the Fens!
I am an enthusiastic fan of Francis Pryor. I love his ebullient manner and cheerful approach to everything. Best antidote I know of to existential gloom.
Phil Harding is from Mildenhall in Wiltshire, not Norfolk. ;-)
@@chrishankin9119 Ok, thanks. Are the accents anything alike?
No problem ;-) . Both of those accents are variations of southern English country accents, so they are much less different from Welsh, Scottish or Irish accents, for example. '@@karenbartlett1307
One of the first colonies formed by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1607 was the Popham Colony in Virginia, named after Sir John, who was also a major financial backer.
That's my great great ggggg grandfather ;o)
Pretty sure the Popham Colony was in Maine, although virtually all of the East Coast from the Carolinas up to New England was Virginia Company claimed land in 1600.
Another great video. Always look forward to them! 😉👍🇺🇸
As an actual Georgian (country) thus title spoke to me :)
Guys! When you watch documentaries on TH-cam, you are bound to find duplicates. Especially on ones like Timeline, Absolute History, etc. This is because they purchase licenses so they can upload them.
This is not something Time Team can predict let alone prevent.
So is this bad or good?
Recently found the show and really enjoy it.
I've got cast iron cookware I know belonged to my great grandmother, and may have been hand-me-downs to her. 70-year-old pottery wouldn't strike me as the least bit odd. It would be stranger if a household DIDN'T have some old stuff in it.
British archeology is so different from U.S. archeology, it's hard to grasp. Both have been inhabited by humans for millennia, but stone just wasn't a thing in North America.
The Incas and Aztecs were into stone, but native North Americans just weren't. Very nomadic. The people living in North America now move around a lot. I can't remember having the same neighbor for more than two decades. In the 7-1/2 years I've lived in my present location, I've had three next-door neighbors come and go, and the place is vacant right now. I always kind of worry that I may end up with an ongoing pain-in-the-ass.
I feel your pain!
I’ve moved only three times in my life. Here’s where I’ve been for 30 years. I want my home to stay in my family for generations. Fingers crossed 🤞.
Good old Time Team.
Is there an owie under Tony’s right eye though?
Phil should have his own show
I have personally met most of the team and enjoyed every meeting
Wonderful show bring it back please
Watching from New Zealand
''Mangaknees?"
manganese - vs - mind yer knees.
Wow! Awesome episode! I have a friend here in the US of the last name Popham. I wonder if there is some relation?
I believe Popham senior backed the pilgrims financially. Would be interesting
Jonathan Foyle was great on this episode. Very communicative and engaging. He was a good addition - was he the lead (or part of the lead) on any other Time Team digs?
They had three Italians hanging on the walls for three years! How strange!
I just if in the 1700’s that the ability to obtain wood of good quality was more limited as the English oaks are reserved for naval construction. Oak lumber had to be imported in from Europe (German) to maintain construction and repair of vessels, luckily a supply of captured vessels supplemented the fleet.
Lols😂
Tony must be taking the piss with those Armani glasses.
Forgot what a very interesting and educational series this was nowt like today's shite brilliant
Another great dig. My question is if these dig sites are only 200 to 300 years old why are they so deep in the ground. Have they been back filled my man over the centuries or is it a natural cause.
I’m not sure, but I think the foundations and eventual cellars were dug down into the ground to begin with.
Seems unlikely it is by natural cause. Because that would mean there's half a meter soil added all over the UK, and the rest of the world. Besides, they used the rubble to fill the empty basement also.
I know half of my yard in another 20 years will be at me neighbor’s house!😄
I have been wondering on the effects of the window tax have on estates. How many large house, mansions and castles were pulled down to it?
Tony Robinson rocking the Tony Montana sunglasses!
Brilliant
Jonathan Foyle is always interesting to listen to
And lovely to watch!
I believe Phill is definitely the English cousin to southern USA.
Definitely..Have you watched a video on TH-cam about the american fishermen who talk exacly like Mick it's so weird and they are 100% born Americans and they still use some olde English words..😊
Mid east coast not southern 😊
Ahhhhhhh nice American Accent and well spoken @ 5:55 and 38:10. Caught me off guard. (Elaine Chalus, Historian)
...and Phil sounds quite "Cokney" in this episode. 😁
Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸
Nothing like Cockley more farmer Giles..
Please, I want to know why did they take the building down?
Ohhh, Phils got shorts on!
Kerrassaan mahtavaa tietoa ❤️
Wow I would get a ladder and get down in that whole lol
I’d like to find more about the painting of Francis Popham. I may have spelled the name incorrectly, but I can’t find it.
It is the painting featured in the program of the man who was purportedly responsible for this odd construction.
If you can help, I’d be grateful. ☮️💜
So what happened to the Tudor mansion John Popham built?
Went to the moon
I guess I've seen this one.
It's a shame that these buildings don't exist no more, image spending so much money in your life time only for it to be torn down later on
I call them the three day wonders
Nawah I've seen this one already!
I know why the buildings were so grand and built everywhere. Because they didn't have to attend with petty bureaucratic councils.
Yes they did they were their pals and they were drinking with them 😊
I watched this series on Channel four on a Sunday around 7.00sh till they dumbed it down , and Mick Aspen left the programme he created Sadly gone
Yup same I think every English family's did because we only had 4 channels
BBC 1
BBC 2
ITV
CHANNEL 4
Wow compare that to now where we've got thousands of channels remember that screen test card on TV when it hit 12:Oclock and went off the little girl with her Teddy I think??
seems they were working with a really small team for that one
Builders never finished the work...
Nothing changes does it?
Who Popham'ed Tony in the eye?
don't mess with the Popham's lol
I'm not surprised the nephew pulled it down. You wouldn't want future generations to be saddled with the crumbling debt of a dead woman's will.
If you put a blade on the bottom of the geophys machine that actually looks like a lawn mower you could do two jobs at once!!
My grandfather was born in 1892. I'm 42. I hate modernity.
I'm in love with the girl in the intro who holds the big wind blown map and looks out over the featureless landscape.
Some day we ought to spend some money on a contraption that hits the ground and then listens for the sound. We'd get a three D image of the site in sound transmission.
Seismic reflection is a geophysical technique similar to what you describe. It is mainly used by geologists but I think Time Team have used it once or twice.
You can't even see it only a silhouette 😂
No finds!? Weird 🤦🤷♂️
a sad story really
Tony looks like a baby owl. 😂🤣😅
I think he looks like a Hawk especially that beak of his..
Has Tony ever ridden a horse before?? I think not. Lololo
What a mess, no wonder it was eventually pulled down
Every angle matters to a well buttressed theory hehehe
Fudge job HAHAHA cowboy builders get busted after all these years
double post. this video is already up.
Phil, Phil, Phil
Ouuuuuuu look arrrrrrr👍
Now do you regret not voting for REFORM UK ???
BBC ,CH 4, ITV , etc....shame on you , our future generations will suffer for your lack of support, we need this we need time team or the likes
LOL! Georgian DIY!
Huge TT fan but without Mick they became too scripted. On this one they knew all the answers before they started,
The grim reaper must have been laughing his gory head off. Grand mansions that turned into a tiny casket in a muddy grave... Nature is a ruthless leveller of the English class system.
Thank god for the USA
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff what?
Any system on the planet to Mr. Reaper is Equal in his eyes 😮
Tony on a horse.
Georgian Money Pit??
You still playing the game...you going to eat soon
How sad to invest so much money, manpower, and time for it just to disappear.
I cant understand that ones accent. its like an illusion
Owy, nasty cut on Tony's face. Why does Sir John Poppen sound like it should be a character from Thomas the Tank Engine?
oi! lol
Please stop saying "tragically" about people who've died!
It's not necessarily 'tragic' is it?
It could've a Blessing and escape from some total bastard! (male or female).
Ohhhh arerr Toney stone the crows!
Phil's shorts are borderline inappropriate lmao
Lol nothing wrong with uncle Phil's shorts, he has great pins that's for sure.
Archeology can tell if the workers were homesteading in the building? Don't think so.
But the walls found match up with the freestanding portico?
Guess we need a new term "englistologist". There seems to be just about them same amount of "documentation" being stored that is full of crap. Makes for a great rediscovery but lousy accuracy.
Dude. It your nails. Lol
This show makes me so angry.. they went in with all these big machines that destroyed everything.. trying to save time.. it’s heartbreaking
you do understand the shows format , right?...3 days... without the diggers they'd still be on their first dig.

I think the English people say caravan for a motor home as we do here in the United States
A caravan is a trailer and needs to be towed like an Airstream behind another vehicle whereas a motor home has an engine and can be driven like a bus.
'Mind your knees', 'Manganese?'....lmao Phil!
😂 😂😂
4:40
Best clip ever to come out of time team! Three mates just laughing 👌
Omg just as I read your comment and watching time team Phil has literally just said this . Eek scary stuff
nothing inspires me more than Phil Harding's denim cut offs
We call them Daisy Dukes. They look good huh?
Inspires you to do what?
google Lemmy Denim Cut Offs
@@SleepscapeSerenity No thanks
