Groby Old Hall in Leicestershire was once home to the legendary White Queen: Elizabeth, the wife of Edward IV. The Team are here to help the new owners, who have saved the house from dereliction, to find out what has gone on in their garden over the centuries. It's full of tantalising glimpses of archaeology: a medieval wall with a window, carved stones and what looks like the remains of a Norman castle.

The loss of Mick was a blow to Time Team, archaeology, and humanity. I still have fond memories of him through this channel.
10 years ago today! So glad his memory lives on here :)
What a sad anniversary.
❤️
They brought Mick along to see if he could remember when the things were still standing there. 😆
Is this Mick's last episode?
Rest In Peace Mick Aston.
Your memory lives on.
Your interest in archaeology was infectious.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us
This programme should never have been discontinued
It's still going on Patreon!
it is back, now , and funded by viewers
It’s a poor and uninteresting show with a bunch of cardboard people trying to fill the shoes of the original fabulous cast who can never be replaced.
Mick was a national treasure. He was loved all over the world. Rest in peace Mick.
When did this happen?
@@danaringquist9730 2013, it was apparently a brain haemmorige. Shortly after he left time team because he felt like the executives were dumbing downthe show, by giving experts a much smaller role and bringing in a new lady who was basically blabbering a lot of nonsense for most of her screentime.
@@0yodelingpickle526 who was that lady? I bought these was newer shows. I really enjoy this series.
@@danaringquist9730 Its Mary-Ann, she has a degree in anthropology and archaeology but they usually just make her do random shit and very little of what she sais has substance lol
Lets be honest, the fact that shes a tv-personality who is a former model probably helped get her this job lol Cuz she sure as shit aint here for her knowledge
Never understand why only 3 days. I’ll have to keep a eye out for her
I love Phil the architectural historian: "That's a classic motte -- just a big mound a' dirt."
Thomas Bell was my grandfather by marriage. My grandfather Abraham Bledsoe Married his daughter Kathryn Ball oh around 1700s Virginia colony I believe.
@@Rockhoundingcolorado I'm old, but I swear I didn't do it.
@@thomasbell7033 lol
.."it's a real thrill to dig in a really deep hole"!... the man is perfwct for the job :-)
Phil’s Mot trench was a thing of art. He really does fine work. The Time Team really opened a lot of minds to the value of archeology. The whole team contributed to history. 👍👍
MOTTE
Never seen anyone get more excited to find a brick like phil before hes not bothered about the gold trinkets just bricks for him😂
Nah. If you REALLY want to see him excited, watch when he finds some flints! 😁
Phil is a genuine mate to all. What a great personality!❤
Mick's sweaters and caps were so unique.
Old timers used to knit them and send there jumpers in for mick
There can never be a time team without Mick, Phil and Tony
There already is
@a.azazagoth5413 no, I don’t think so. I find the new time team rather boring and not entertaining at all. 😴
this is Phillipa Gregory one of my favourite authors and time team , my day is made!
It's fascinating how the bailey evolved as the medieval period ended. A lot more archaeology has been done there since this episode. Groby old hall is a truly fascinating site as are the grey family. Phillippa Gregorys book is a great read on this family.
Sir John Grey de Groby died 1451, is a distant ancestor of mine, it was interesting to see his place of abode !
Looking foward to having Mick and Phil in my living-room. Plus all the rest... Almost a family of ancienteers!
Mic died in 2012.I love all the Time Teams with him in them as well as without.
yeah they were the best end of that era
The little quips are magic. Yall make me laugh out loud. "One stone is a stone, 2 stones a Norman Castle" Hloh, hloh, hloh!!!
As a long time Time Team watcher the people i look forward to seeing the most are Mick, Tony and Stewart, they do make the show for me and they always say pleasant things about others. And i think Mick and Stewart display the most know-how in planning a dig and the lie of that particular piece of land.
Will miss you Mick really loved your Joy of all things Ancient .
RIP Mick...you will be sorely missed.....
R.I.P Mick, I'm watching from all the way down under from Mount Gambier in the State Of South Australian.🥇🇦🇺🦘⚜️👑⚜️🏴🇬🇧
Gday next door neighbour.. WA 🇦🇺😂
Isn't it amazing that a property with such history is just there and somone can just buy it? I live in Sydney and that sort of architectural history simply doesn't exist. (I can show you the cobbled boat ramp where goods were brought in from supply ships in the harbour in the late 1700's.) Good on the fireman for rescuing the White Queen's home.
Groby was the home of some of my ancestors so I really enjoyed this one
One of my absolute favourites! ❤️ Thank you so much for posting these classics for us to watch again!
18 years of Tony never being able to guess what Mick is going to say at the start of the project
Favourite TT quote... "... the radar's just hit something..."
or milk with his ritual sacrifice
Great episode and lovely to see Mick pulling it all together. And Paul Blinkhorn is so impressive with his input - just love to hear and see his first class input in these episodes.
It was a pleasure to meet both Mick and Karenza on GWR train (🤤) to Bristol alot of years ago.
I love time team. So grateful for these episodes!
Me too! IT IS THE BEST THING!!! 💜💜💜
I have always been a fan of the show, the team and the archeology/history but now, having dug into my own ancestry (both traditional and DNA) watching this show knowing i have a familial connection to the estate it brings a whole new level of appreciation to each find and all the work done to bring the past back to life.
I live in Australia and I too have familial connection to the site. We may be very very distant cousins
I live in Maine, USA and also have connections. Amazing.
Thousands and thousands of people across the world have connections connections as well same with the ROYALS in England I think around 25-35+ of BRITONS are related
What a fascinating episode, it really did had everything. Thank you Time Team
Including Stewart and John agreeing on something!!
Just how I wanted to start my Sunday. New upload from Time Team.
So much amazing history in your beautiful country.
I love seeing you guys doing these little videos during the revamp of Time team but I still watch all the years with of episodes and miss all of you so the biggest love here is seeing how you guys have all got on so gracefully and how strong your supporters are even today. Absolutely incredible but I still want to see you guys come back in for the dig. It's kinda boring now even though we have the tech and drones and all. Huge fan hope you are all great. Thanks for the new content it's so cool to listen to.
I'm an American and I love watching Time Team (Classic and the new Time Team) 💖⛏⛰🌲🏡💛
When they mentioned Philippa Gregory, I was excited to know that I had read a few of her literary offerings. Little did I know that I was reading history. Thank you miss Gregory. And what is great is I have a little connection to lancashire.
Who knew, that our Baldrick could be such a clever clogs? 😄
He had a cunning plan!
Very excited and supportive of the new Time Team! This one was one of the best!!
I have been watching for about 6 months in that time I have learned more about history than I learned in school. I am american
This is true for me too, and the processes used to mix mortar, paint plaster walls, seeing how the people during the bronze age made a sword, etc. etc.
What an exciting episode! Thank you
Yes, Mick I know you are up there looking down n laughing at your buddies. You are gone but never forgotten or far away....
Up where? How can he laugh if he's dead?
What are you on about???
Looking down?? The guy is dead, not far away!
I loved watching the old Time Team and welcome the new members; we don't live forever and one day we will be under the dirt as well.
My 110 year old house burned into the basement, 5 generations of artifacts someone will excavate one day.
Love watching these videos! Thanks!🇺🇸🗽☺️
I love your videos! You're a great team. Very entertaining and at the same time teaching me history which I love. Thank You.!.
I'm glad these historic sites are being brought back. I lament every time I see a documentary showing a castle in ruination. I always think the govermnent should be funding the restoration of these all important historical sites. I lament because I know, once they are gone, we can never get them back again. Best to try and grab them now and restore them as museums for tomorrows kids.
When I visited Scandinavia, I made a point to go to their folk museums and check it all out. It was winter and one folk village was closed, but one beautiful lady took me around for a one-on-one tour. I think this is when the history/archeology bug bit. It was overwhelming to think that I was walking in hundreds of years old homes and churches and looking at artifacts one thousand or more years old. Heady stuff. It gave me a rush like nothing else. I have been a history lover ever since. I sincerely hope that everyone will take an interest in protecting and restoring their national treasures before the business class tears it all down to put up a parking lot.
Bahahahah mick “come on, here, you’ve already been in there hundreds of years”
I wonder if anyone from the past there said one day "I wonder what people in the future will think on how well we lived"
Just who are the "we " ?
@larry. Them.
Great episode I have never seen before. Amazing stuff.
What a great show this is!
Newtown Linford just down the road with many buildings that are centuries old. Maybe even Norman.
Lady jane grey, rode her horse in groby, but lived in newton linford another amazing area.
So lovely to see Mick again 🙂
Hey bud. I think the way your videos are these days are perfect. Not too short. Not too long. Authentic. Doin great!!! Keep em coming!!!!
Heaven is finding a new episode.....
It's not new. I've seen it a while ago on here but a different channel. And then of corse also I've seen it yearrrs ago closer to the time it was originally aired on TV in England when I lived there.
You may wanna do a search for time team full episodes, and maybe many others you've not yet seen, will emerge. There are loads that are in other countries but is this cast, they aren't on this channel, and i like em very much!!! 😌😌😌
It's new to the official TT channel, thanks.
Some of us love TT but have to watch it on UA-cam and want to support the TT organization so are happy to see it "new" here.
I worked at the hospital before they shut it. Loverly grounds
I wish I found stuff like this in my back garden! All that is there presently are presents from my Cat!!
I live in New Zealand, no ancient buildings here, I am obsessed with my British history!!!
What country are you in?
This is amazing!!!! I've traced my family back to king William the first, so watching this and learning more is Amazing!
Your family history is a fascinating insight into UK history for those of us that just find it interesting and don't have a connection like that.
Same and also back to Hugh de Grandmesnil, the man who had Groby Castle built.
I do as well. My father recently found we descend from Thomas Grey marquis of Dorset and thus we descend from Elizabeth Woodville and her first husband who was John Grey of Groby.
What an amazing story - incredible forgotten history
Dont you dare stop time team. Been watching since the first episode! Love you all so much!
a love of history and the interest in this family is timeless, ty for this video.
Bradgate park is a place they should be visiting. Grey family built it.
The de Ferrer family are my direct descendants. They eventually went to Canada and now are the Farrow family of Nova Scotia.
How many archeological remains have been destroyed ignored and unrecorded by companies building roads and motorways
Thank you.
Great work...
Love the presentation...
Can't wait till next video!
Blessings to all ❤
Another great episode.
Greetings from Michigan USA.
god those watercolours are fantastic. every one a little masterpiece
I love time team and the fact they had philippa Gregory there was even better. 1 of my possible ancestors was mentioned in her book the constant princess.
Been watching these for decades. Amazing history. Do u not get a lottery grant for these endeavours? But two substantive questions. Water is important. So what importance is given to that to find houses, keeps etc in archaeology. And any pre dig research or blooper reels available?
Yes No
One of the most interesting episodes of all. Really informative and good watching.
Thanks!
God bless Michael, he will be very much missed.
12:35
Philippa says Hugo was granted Groby by *William I,* after Hastings, but the document shows at 5:53 that it was *William Rufus*, his son who she goes on to explain Hugo had a falling out with who is named as having made him Lord Groby in 1086.
Full disclaimer:
Just finished my 5th Philippa Gregory novel from her Cousin's Wars series & am therefore perhaps feeling *EXTRA vigilant* about her creative licenses & her (massively confusing, given her obvious expertise on the subject) outright blatant inaccuracies, errors & blunders (e.g. Edward IV's court is said to be at Nonsuch Palace at one point?! Or how the Tudor Rose is repeatedly described as being *a white rose with a red center* vs. the actual red rose with a white center, etc.) There are *literally incredible* errors, I may have some residual trauma lol, but even so - this seems confusing.
I love Philippa Gregory’s Novels, her research and accuracy has a lot to be desired.
Thanks
I love this, it is my family history. I want to know more.
Anne Millinton Ferris was my 4th Great Grandmother, Married Daniel Whelpley.
Me too, descend from Elizabeth Woodville.
Well uh you share this ancestry with millions of people
Lucky. I can’t trace my ancestry beyond 1900. I wish I knew more
I was very disappointed to not see John Cleese hurtling insults with a French accent at the researchers from a high point.
Wrong castle. That scene was filmed at Doune Castle in Scotland
@@davidtaylor9198 NICE FACTZ 💯❣️ But Chivalry and Polite Custom In the COMMENTS ON These NOBLE TOPICS IS APPRECIATED And Ofen EXPECTED ❣️🤔🍵😚🏰
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of ELDERBERRIES
……..and your father smelt of elderberries 😅😅
Anglian. Very few if any Frisians or Saxons in that part of England. Normans weren't really enough in number to change the genepool but usually being of Danish or Norwegian Viking heritage, often with French wives, and intermarrying in England, the Normans were and basically are the same DNA as the English anyway. Coastal North Sea Germanic-Scandinavian with native 'Celtic' British and/or French. Some Normans were apparently Breton and Flemish, etc, btw. Hugh de Grandmesnil at 5'8" wasn't 'amazingly tall' for that time; 5'8" was the average. King Harald of Norway was 6'4" and that was considered quite tall.
Tack!
This is a good one
Interesting episode!
Time team was a Great show I never knew about it until I found it on UA-cam one day it never was on T.V in the U.S as far I know anyway now was time team America but was nothing like the British original show.
First aired 20th March 2011 - UK
love time team
WOTTA COINCIDENCE! Philippa Gregory is one of my favourite Female novelists. At this very moment, I'm reading for the 4th time Ms. Gregory's superb novel "THE CONSTANT PRINCESS" A beautifully done novelization of the Life of Catherine Of Aragon. It fills in the missing bits of that magnificent Queen's Life Story, *
Dig up that castle!
just wondering if you have ever done the castle Haydon/Hayden in the town of Haydon not sure of the new times?
I am loving this show, since I just learn my family has ancestry genealogy form Leicestershire near here but not this location as I known it.
The only issue is I am a crossed the pond they call the Atlantic and can not go see the sites much.
I would love to hear more about houses and the way that they were built… Like, what’s the Matt and Bailey? Was the kitchen formal or was it just for cooking like I’d love to hear an hour long detailed video about the structure of the way houses were put together with their different rooms and purposes back then eta
Love TT!
My village 47 years, nice place.
Sharing 💯
Did my Genealogy and found I'm descended from Elizabeth Woodville's sister Catherine. About as close to royalty as I'll ever get.
Still, pretty snazzy indeed, sire!
If provable, which is difficult.
J H Round, the great genealogist and historian once said that royal blood exists in almost the whole of the English population, with King John being the common ancestor from his many kids. Round also said that there are many walking around today who would be surprised if they knew who they were related to. He called them "The illustrious obscure"
They are my 17th great grandparents. Lucy and Edward.
(of Tony, in jest) "I'll screw his neck one day" Rest in peace, Mick.
Yes, good friends talk like that
And Mick said it laughing with a smile on his face.....................God bless him.
Being an old hippie with an interest in archaeology and beer, my favorite member of Time Team is Phil of course. But I liked all of them, even Tony(even as much as he wears on the nerves).
My sons old family castle lol, according to Geni. My Ex wife's family is related to the who's who of old England and Wales with relatives illustrated on the Bayeux tapestry, Sir Walter Raliegh and Sir Francis Drake..
21:05 - Oh no! Compromising future archeologists potential finds
Have Time Team ever started digging on say a 10/11th century building and gone down and hit a Roman Mosaic or similar such fined?
perhaps not a mosaic, but yes. and Iron, Bronze and Neolithic
They found Saxon and Roman finds here, they just didn't mention it (it's possible they only unearthed them after the cameras stopped rolling?)
Why didn’t you tell
More about how they made those tiles and the crown tiles?
Time team keeps surprising me. I thought I'd seen all the episodes And then this one comes up and it's like I've never seen this one before! awesome! and what's wild is I think I'm related to this family because they know related to Williams Hastings are willing to first and many of his nights the dispenser family Delaware couple others I can't remember but I remember this family the Grays. I haven't been working on a family genealogy in about 30 years or 20 years at least but once my my family gets back to England then we find the connections to the Hungerfords and of several other families the Whitney who are related to the royalty both sides are related to the royal so once you get connected to the Royals and your connected to most of most of Europe royalty Specifically the patients in France and from them the rest of Europe Spanish Portuguese Italian German austria Hungary Ukraine N Swiss Swedish irish Scottish and Welsh It's fascinating The history that encompass our history our family history. I wish I knew more of my personal family history my family name but the problem is the first one that came here to the North America the colonies came to New Hampshire in a place called Bloody Point new Exeter in New Hampshire I believe it was Exeter And there's no record of him coming over there's no record in in amen ship manifest So either he was an indentured servant and wasn't counted or he was a stowaway or a cabin boy when he got here he escaped servitude but he showed up around 1623 ish Which is around the time of the great migration from England great Britain to the colonies we know he probably came from the Cornwall or Devonshire area which is West of West which is more brothonic than Anglo Saxon or Norman. Most of my family is prothonic or Celtic Scottish Welsh Irish southeast coast of Ireland County will work sure to believe it is They just fascinating to me That's what I like time pain because it is It shows me what the history of England was and Great Britain and Ireland too bad you guys can't go into Ireland proper and do some excavating because I think they would love the help one and she would be interesting to see battle sites between what was the English and the Irish although I always read for the Irish that's just me Very my Irish roots come from an English family that sided with the Irish crown they paid phase to the English crown but married into the local nobility and was more excited with the local mobility my family roots go back to Brian Burrough The first Scottish King of Scotland and Kenneth Mcgowan and the Norwegian King can't remember his name but he was around 400 500 AD I even have some Roman senators that are in my family line through the French Valley and the Italian side of the family again that's around 300 and 400 a That's as far back as we seem to be able to go before the records kind of dilute and becomes Mcmith and legend rather than genealogy. it's fascinating what you can find out about history by doing your family genealogy and there's so many books out there to help you
It was funny when they were legitimately looking for 1960s artifacts in order to find 900 year old artifacts.
I have been trying to remember which episode had the excavation of the villainous de Cheney castle or residence as the subject. Anyone remember??
