Time Team - History Hunters

Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire - Middle Age Abbey (1x6)

Air date: Jan 02, 1999

Burton upon Trent is renowned for the beer made there, but back in the Middle Ages, it was the site of a very important abbey. This week, three teams of history hunters try to find out as much as they can about this once-tremendous monument. Is there anything remaining? What happened to it? And what connection did it have with a magnificent house on a hillside some three miles away?
