When you breathe this kind of stuff (or any other), you are in wave with the ones who made it, thus it's easy to surmise where something is and take a guess. An architect will always understand another, even if they're not even in the same century as laws of structure remain the same regardless of styles or trends. Same for this.

I think it’s an ability to see what is different from the natural lay of the land. He has an amazing ability. I have met others in different fields that had similar abilities. As an example that I learned in a forestry class. Find a beech tree, then look to see if it is the oldest one in visual sight. Even though they produce viable seeds, they produce new trees from the ends of their roots. Like the hub of a wheel and the spokes along its rim. Then you have a grove of beeches.

As a glass blower I'll never stop being amazed at how thin those tudor blowers got the window sheets for the glaziers. Truly timeless.

Brilliant, just brilliant! I had watched this on You Tube many times before but it was a much lower quality version, and seeing this again looking like new was fantastic. I am not criticising the other upload at all - I always thoroughly enjoyed it - and having visited Chenies several times in the past 10 years it is good to see the history and archaeology of the site again. Thank you Time Team!

In my first watch through I think I may have skipped this one... possibly out of personal animosity toward Henry VIII as a tyrant & generally preferring the older/prehistoric digs ... but it is a very fun episode! And I may have to re-assess later historical period; it is interesting to get the historical record vs archaeology. Even if my bias is to feel more like "we know this already", as we can see, no we don't, always! Or ever, maybe. Glad to have inadvertently left myself some extra 'new' Time Team left for today

I learned the word "furtling" for the first time. Tony used it perfectly to describe Stewart Ainsworth. ❤

I lived in Larimer in the late 1970's and went to school at Chenies. The school is next door to the Manor and we would look through the fence and make up stories about the people who lived there over the years. We also had school outings there occasionally. This episode was great, it brought back many wonderful memories for me. Thank you Team for being so brilliant at bringing the last to live for us (in many ways).

Whether other teams have continued the projects, what else has been found or whether other related digs have shown anything else? I wonder - and its a question I posited- whether with the new series could go back and explore/revisit old sites to give updates as well dig new sites, after all some of the more well known digs in the show have been last seen over 20 years ago.

Every episode I keep thinking Stewart MVP. Always blows me away

I know it was annoying to have to completely change the dig location, but seeing 'behind the scenes' is very interesting!

Elizabeth Cheney of Chesham Bois married Benedict Lee of Hulcott, Buckinghamshire in 1495. Their Grandson Henry Lee of Quarendon ( who owned a lot of Epping Forest and a house in Stratford, Essex, and has a velodrome named after him LOL ) was the progenitor of the Lee family, Earls of Lichfield, house at Ditchley Park.

I think Phil must dig archaeology in his dreams. “Let’s get on then”.

the building and the digging is always fun to watch but to me the episode's star was the falconry demonstration. the training was almost akin to aerial bullfighting (with a less gruesome ending of course) clearly i adore Raptors by the way my part of Virginia is starting to one again team with Red Tailed Hawks, 30 years ago they were a rare treat to see, these days they still are a treat but i see at least one on practically a daily basis. Conservation in action has saved these magnificent birds.

Fucking love whenever I look at the comments on these episodes its always "Stewart is a genius" or "John is so good at his job" lol, it's awesome

I worked on this site, DPM combats, green norge and Aussie hat with teeth in, seconded from Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT). Tony was an idiot and ignored everyone, Phil farted every time he bent over and Tim Taylor had a row with me as I disputed Jonathan’s theorems, I told him they were later addition bay windows but Jonathan insisted it was a garde-robe….guess who was right! At least Tony signed my DVD box set of Black Adder! I was also on the Canterbury dig where it all went wrong and at Buckingham Palace on the ‘Big Royal Dig’ every time was fun, but at the end of the day it’s TV not real life!

The lack of windows was due to the window tax imposed in England (and France) during the 18th century. It's similar to various "bathroom taxes" imposed on new construction in America beginning in the 1980's, where the more bathrooms a house had, the greater the tax because of "increased demands on sewer and water services".
