Thank you for these videos. I’m American and at this point I know so much more about British history than my own. I tried Time Team America but was soon disappointed.
I got very interested in geology as a child and I have been known to walk around staring at the land around me and seeing how the land formed. I see that "seeing beyond the surface" in Stewart . And I love it!
Love Stewart! As I go through countryside, I find myself looking at hills and dips and thinking, "Hmm, Stewart would know exactly what that shows. And he'd have the maps to prove it." Have learned so much from Time Team!!!
The whole team have their own individual strengths. Brought together they are absolutely professional and make an amazing and formidable team. Watching them has taught me a lot and showed me the complexities of archaeology. It also shows me that the original archaeologists of the 19th century were at a distinct disadvantage because it takes more than one man with a vision and a team of labourers to really unpick the complex and confusing underground marvel of historical artifacts. It is interesting how much like a modern medical specialist you have to be. Brought together the passion of these archeologists has earned them a great respect from anyone watching them. I am grateful to the organisation that compiled this series because it makes you weary of trying layman archaeology without an educated archaeologist present for fear that you would not only not be able to read what you have uncovered but you could inadvertently damage the relics. I also appreciate the amount of background work involved which ties the recorded history of the sites and how much information has been revealed about the culture and ethos of the people, rulers and religious houses from the different eras. This in my mind is better than any movie or novel. I love how their finds either justify or debunk what is shown in historical documentation proving the truth. It is nice to see the commoners given pride of place next to royalty and aristocracy.
"A story of a family that arrived as outsiders and left as viscounts. A story that gets to the very heart of how british society was shaped." Wellwellwell. Taken into the context of the family in question, picturesquely pictured as some kind of brutal Mafia-Gang refining itself into nobility on a base of definitely ill-gotten gains, an innocent bystander might mistake this last heartening message by Tony for healthy dose sarcasm...
Archaeology proves yet another underlying thing, that the crooks villains and bullies prosper at the expense of others, with royal/governmental backing... not much has changed then!!
At the very least, the Chenies seemed to have turned their lives around in the end... With a house built on a foundation of skeletons lol. This is why blood feuds are still a thing..
Whichever epoch you study, this factor has always, right throughout the history of mankind been the same. I often look at the old sayings of our ancestors and now being myself of a more advanced age get to appreciate them and their application more. The old saying money is the root of all evil is reflected here. If you have so much wealth that you do not have to work or struggle to make ends meet then you lose interest in the aspect of wealth. However, with an evil and misdirected mind you look at other options to use your wealthy position and status and begin to crave power. Power means you can make others less fortunate or wealthy (including kings) jump like a bunch of frogs. This can also lead you to believe you are invincible and can make you foster a perverse feeling of superiority which leads to cruel and heartless behaviour. On a lighter but appropriate note: I worked in an office located in a high end department store and witnessed the emotional state of bored rich female 'Cougars'. There were one or two who were being continually arrested by the store security for shop lifting. They were ushered into the managers office, their husbands were called and their lawyers came to either bail them out of the situation or take care of any legal proceedings. Once or twice the husbands came to the store and there was an unholy loud argument between the spouses. These particular ladies thrived on the attention and when they came into the premises I am sure they enjoyed having an entourage of staff and security following their every movement and tracking them. Because of the status of the store the staff had to behave in a very discreet and professional manner. However, people are human and if these ladies only realised how they were mocked when they left they.might not have felt so comfortable. Qui Sera Sera.
The first generation is a crook, by the third or fourth the big money has sent the children to good schools, plus marry into a better class. One also sees a person from a formerly wealthy family with nothing left but their aristocratic appearance, a beautiful accent, and exquisite manners.
If you watch all of the episodes.. there’s the occasional well done zing at the monarchy, the upper crustys and the ultra monied.. when the Titled Ones occasionally appear on the show, 😂😂 they’re so stereotypical it’s absurd… there is some really really clever stuff in the production room, you just have to catch it.. showcasing the right ‘Honorable’ Dip$hit juuuust right.. lol I live in Massachusetts.. we have “royalty” but it’s completely different than what goes on in Britain.. I’m really not sure how I’d feel about it if I lived there .. …because everyone else knows that a title doesn’t actually make you any different than anyone else.. 🤔🤔 Things only have the power you give them.. so titles today are basically meaningless.. ATB! 😊
I assume this is the family that Cheyne Walk in Chelsea is named after where Oscar Wilde lived. Also, wondering if the rendering of the Chelsea Mansion is the same one where Anne Boleyn lived for a while and Katherine Parr inherited after Henry VIII died and fostered Jane Grey and Elizabeth I. I love this show, thank you Mr Zaaijer for all the work you've done in the posting.
@@TheShootist How rediculous and unnecessary comment. If it were hurting Time Team in any way, it would have been removed. Au contraire, it made Time Team known, enjoyed and loved all over the world. And kept its spirit alive. Not to mention how much effort it took to collect and upload 20 Seasons!! Bravo and thank you RZ!
thank you for the show.i live in the usa, near phoenix. i hate to admit i love all the jokes aimed at bush's brain err i mean vice pres. laughs. iv always enjoyed the history shows tony has hosted.he is a funny guy.Ido not know much more that about him. other than i know he digs history as much as i do.i do get jealous you guys over the pond can walk out your back door and find some history. i walk out my back door, and i just step in dog poo. laughs. i have found lots of Indian heads tho :)
Chris c Tony Robinson is known as Blackadders servant Baldrick in the show of the same name. It’s a subversive look at the history of England seen through the eyes of a miserable cynic. It’s achingly funny. The main actors are Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie. Along with almost any english actor worth their salt. Look it up.
The village gets its name from the de Bosco family (the French version of which was "de Bois") and by 1213 in the reign of King John a William du Bois was holding the manor.
This was a pretty area, if I ever get to Britain, I would want to visit. Ireland is 1st up, County Kerry, must go there and "be with My People"! Lineage is County Kerry. 🍀❤🍀
Undoubtedly they are...given there's a Sir Ralf de Chesney (Quesnay) from Normandy in the 11th century being involved with the Earl(s) de Warenne and may other notable families on the rise.As for favoring later Lollard and similar 'heretical' sympathies,this would be the very type of family who would have ventured into New World territories for combined religious and entrepeneurial gains.I too have this name in my 17th century family roster,fantastic to see this dig!
The line in England always passes down to the first born male, who gets everything. Many early settlers of the US were the second (or later) sons who had few other alternatives for wealth, fame and power on a par with older bro's situation. They tended to go to the South where large-scale projects could be quickly and suitably exploited by slave labor (English indentured servants at the beginning who eventually earned their freedom). Wouldn't surprise me a bit that there's some direct relationship between this family and dick Cheney. Btw, the surname could mean a stand of oaks, or oak forest.
The de Warenne's are direct ancestors of mine. William de Warenne, the 1st Earl of Surrey's second son, Reginald, is my line. I'm from the US. Thomas Warren arrived in the Virginia Colony in 1635.
Yeah it was instantly off to me because it was clearly on a different plan/alignment from the others even in the older maps--don't understand why no one even asked why this building was so odd right on first glance. Either that, or the editing was oddly done to expunge all mention of that building from Days 1 and 2 if it was mentioned
@@richardwheeler6115 You can just fix old houses without destroying them. Even medieval castles are perfectly lovable to modern codes if you update its interior.
a family built a mansion ontop of a shanty shack, and then 300-years later, the same family tore down a faded, 300-year old relic that was probably, by that time, impossible to heat efficiently or maintain, to make a smaller, more economical shelter.. Hardly a crime.
+BillyLapTop Wind, Rain, erosion, flooding, leaves in the years will become another layer? you'd do smart on to watch a documentary about geology. In fact raining dirt is not that strange of a thing, sand travels in wind en when whet will become heavy and thus fall so you'd get raining dirt. Thing is it happens everywhere:)
+BillyLapTop Yes. It does rain dirt. Not just in England and the UK but everywhere on Earth. Based on extrapolated data it is estimated that 40,000 metric tons of cosmic dust settles on the earth every year. But the earth is also LOSING 50,000 metric tons every year. The net loss is about 0.000000000000001% every year, so it doesn’t account for much when compared to the total mass of the Earth, which is 5,972,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. scitechdaily.com/earth-loses-50000-tonnes-of-mass-every-year/
roughly 1mm per year I heard em say 5-10 episodes back. so It adds up. I get freaked out when I see where the shoreline used to be... 4 miles inland usually.
I would add that it also depends on the area where they dig (some 2000 yr old Roman ruins have been found literally found by just scraping the top layer of grass), how the ruins became ruins (stones and architectural pieces being dug to the foundations and reused on later buildings), landscaping (large tracks of land being deeply dug and cleared before creating things like water features), rebuilding over older remains (new basements & foundations that obliterate the remains of the top layers of older buildings), and backfill (using broken up parts of older structures to fill in empty spaces & holes to create smooth surface in fields and around newer structure. Layer upon layer of new use on top of old can make the archeology being excavated seem as if it's meters below ground. Plus astral dust, of course. 😉😄👷♀️
ugh... the episode clearly points out that the Cheynes protected protestants from being burned alive by catholics intent on keeping the Rome-centered power structure intact. They even appointed protestant-sympathetic clerics to their local church, who were then erased from history by resurgent catholics under Bloody Mary. I suppose if my neighbor forced kids to burn their parents alive, i'd shoot their dog with a crossbow too.
Peggy Jenkinson from having binged watched over the last few weeks and seeing how things change, I would say he was "above" John from the get go, Doing geophysics. Now they seem to have two separate areas of expertise
@@lindasue8719 John is a geophysicist. Stuart is a landscape archaeologist. Two different disciplines. John reads and interprets the machine results. Stuart is more like a detective, putting the site in context of what he can find out from old maps and field walking.
After whom, of course, Cheyne Walk - one of the most exclusive addresses in West London - is named. The family owned that part of Chelsea all those centuries ago.
This show was overflowing with individual subjects, each offering their own stories that would make for a series of books to fully experience their history. It is an amazing collection of people, events, politics, religion, social evolution, and area history. A shame the family diminished over the years. Imagine being labeled a heritic for the desire of information in one's own language. It is the same measure today for desiring the History of the Christian Religion clarity and particularly the accurate evolution between 01 AD and 400 AD, the "Followers of Yeshua/Jesus" and Constatine (and his Priests) establishing of his "1 State Religion", known as Roman Christainity. The Coptic, Orothodox, Gnostics, and "Followers of Jesus", relative to the Rogman Christain Religion, clarity remains yet to be fully addressed in any full presentation of writing with references. To pursue this is often deemed heretical.
... Tony and others mis-pronouncing 'Bois' ~ which means 'wood' in French. Should be pronounced (approx) "bwars' - Yes, I know, but that's the French for you :0)
But the name of the house is actually Chesham 'Bois', which is the English pronunciation, not 'Bwahrs', as in French, so TT are right to say it that way. Who can argue with 400 years of history? .
Just about to start this episode and thought I would come here to see what's the buzz. I don't think I've ever seen 19 thumbs down before! Now my interest is really piqued! I'm getting the feeling a lot of it is about what a bunch of t**ts the upper-crust are. If that's the case I'm tempted to give this one a pass because that much I already know! Here's hoping that doesn't get in the way of the dig and archaeology…
If you want details on his political and entrepreneurial history, The Real News Network (Baltimore) put out a thorough (and horrifying) 4-part series a few years ago that they've just reissued, and it's as pertinent as ever. It's hard to imagine how many crimes against humanity and sheer turpitude this one individual is responsible for.
Hmm, ex VP dick Cheney is just true to family form apparently...got back in the big bucks and ante'd up to genocidal criminality. There's even a dose of fundamentalist Christianity, that essential neo-con ally. On another note à propos of the Archeo Society's trench "We"ve really only seen it in sexual.." - gotta love CC!
@@mrs.schmenkman Not in the Jamestown episode that I found. It must have been edited out for some unfathomable reason. I have been trying to find one of the videos that show Phil playing his guitar but haven't been able to find them. I really would love to see at least one of them.
What he said. Pronunciation is determined by the locals, not by the origin of the name. If this pronunciation bothers you, you really don't want to know what Kentucky has done to Versailles.

history than my own. I tried Time Team America but was soon disappointed.
John and Stewart are living time machines. They see things then the dig changes the whole picture. Wonderful viewing.

Apparently not. "If it has no use, destroy it" seems to be the motto of most governments.
I would hope that you don't keep everything even if you find it not useful to you. A person can not build a new house without clearing the land.

@@lindasue8719 John is a geophysicist. Stuart is a landscape archaeologist. Two different disciplines. John reads and interprets the machine results. Stuart is more like a detective, putting the site in context of what he can find out from old maps and field walking.
Helen.....those pants @11:00 !!!
Hah! A total parallel to the so-called royal family. Biggest bunch of baddies becomes the ruling class.
31:12 There are reasons why men dislike Bridget and why they love Helen, lots of them.
It could be a barb from Bridget or it could be they are good friends and the slagging is affectionate. I get the Helen aspect, of course.
Agreed, that seemed a bit mean, beyond the usual British tradition of taking the piss out of your mates. Anyway I think John's kinda cute :)
After whom, of course, Cheyne Walk - one of the most exclusive addresses in West London - is named.
The family owned that part of Chelsea all those centuries ago.
A difficult site and difficult for viewers to make sense of, very complex.
This show was overflowing with individual subjects, each offering their own stories that would make for a series of books to fully experience their history. It is an amazing collection of people, events, politics, religion, social evolution, and area history. A shame the family diminished over the years.
Imagine being labeled a heritic for the desire of information in one's own language. It is the same measure today for desiring the History of the Christian Religion clarity and particularly the accurate evolution between 01 AD and 400 AD, the "Followers of Yeshua/Jesus" and Constatine (and his Priests) establishing of his "1 State Religion", known as Roman Christainity.
The Coptic, Orothodox, Gnostics, and "Followers of Jesus", relative to the Rogman Christain Religion, clarity remains yet to be fully addressed in any full presentation of writing with references.
To pursue this is often deemed heretical.
That is not true, Chris.
... Tony and others mis-pronouncing 'Bois' ~ which means 'wood' in French. Should be pronounced (approx) "bwars' - Yes, I know, but that's the French for you :0)
But the name of the house is actually Chesham 'Bois', which is the English pronunciation, not 'Bwahrs', as in French, so TT are right to say it that way. Who can argue with 400 years of history? .
27:30, 31:10.
Just about to start this episode and thought I would come here to see what's the buzz. I don't think I've ever seen 19 thumbs down before! Now my interest is really piqued!
I'm getting the feeling a lot of it is about what a bunch of t**ts the upper-crust are. If that's the case I'm tempted to give this one a pass because that much I already know!
Here's hoping that doesn't get in the way of the dig and archaeology…
Google Dick Cheney's Heritage. Wikipedia results will give you pause.
If you want details on his political and entrepreneurial history, The Real News Network (Baltimore) put out a thorough (and horrifying) 4-part series a few years ago that they've just reissued, and it's as pertinent as ever. It's hard to imagine how many crimes against humanity and sheer turpitude this one individual is responsible for.
@@cathjj840Not hard to imagine at all. The man is a monster and so are his cronies in the Haliburton Mob.
I've dreamed about exploring Bridge's Trench.
Roman catholic persecution. Nothing new here.
🤣🤣🤣 it was the other way round
What do these people do for a living that they can afford these ENORMOUS houses for one family in modern times!?!?
I do think
however
That if they had paid more attention to
Monty Python
It might be funnier
@14:08 you damn near see her who-ha! 😉
The Cheyne Family sounds like Donald Trump and his New York Real Estate crime family
Doubt if the family died out... ask Dick Cheney across the pond !
Hmm, ex VP dick Cheney is just true to family form apparently...got back in the big bucks and ante'd up to genocidal criminality. There's even a dose of fundamentalist Christianity, that essential neo-con ally.
On another note à propos of the Archeo Society's trench "We"ve really only seen it in sexual.." - gotta love CC!
Phil bowls like Trump golfs!
And, as always, Phil's fingernails are disgusting!
+John Rogers They are only on his right hand and he plays classical guitar. I am told that he is very good.
Well, that explains that mystery! Thanks for the info.
Dale Subic He plays it during the Jamestown Special and we also get to see someone else sing a bit too!!
Phil plays the guitar.
@@mrs.schmenkman Not in the Jamestown episode that I found. It must have been edited out for some unfathomable reason. I have been trying to find one of the videos that show Phil playing his guitar but haven't been able to find them. I really would love to see at least one of them.
It isn't pronounced "BOYS' , it is pronounced " BWAR ", which is French for wood.
I don't know of anyone local who gives it the French pronunciation.
What he said. Pronunciation is determined by the locals, not by the origin of the name. If this pronunciation bothers you, you really don't want to know what Kentucky has done to Versailles.
Ikree R lol, so true. I live about ten minutes from VERRSAILS.
@@ikreer9777 Or Missouri indeed! Or Lafayette County, Mississippi :)
Chaney deserve no respect whatsoever
- Cheney- is not an everyday name... any connections there to Dick Cheney,ex Vice President in the USA?en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Cheney
at 46 minutes, Tony though said that the family died out. and no mentioning that anyone emigrated...
@@benediktmorak4409it does appear there is no connection proven, but it's not impossible, just the records are missing, perhaps.
@@RBS.23 thank you for the reply
