It was relatives of that great-grandmother who centred upon the town of Soham also had connections across that part of Cambridgeshire and into the neighbouring county of Suffolk. It has always amused me that to the east of Soham there is the Suffolk Mildenhall. To the south of Mildenhall, back into Cambridgeshire, you will find the parish of Kennett. To the south west of Mildenhall - and also to the south-east of Soham, just over half way from Soham to Kennett, you will find Chippenham.

I could understand some of their remote sites being difficult regarding bringing extra equipment, but they've had so much rain tipping down at times that it would have seemed a no-brainer to have tents enough to protect 4 trenches, not just one.

Fascinating! A tax-collecting center, for sure, with high walls because presumably the Romans were still guarding against un-reconstructed Brits who weren't bowing down to the Roman Empire and who posed a threat to the Roman coin horde. I think everybody on this show has a different accent. The strangest one, of course, is Phil's. When he said "Oh aye, oh, aye!" he sounded like someone I've heard before, either on "Upstairs, Downstairs" or maybe on "Downton Abbey".
