Time Team

Much Wenlock, Shropshire - The New Town of a Norman Prince (1x3)

: 30, 1994

Old foundations found in a garden may be one of the first houses to be built in the town - is this so? How did Much Wenlock become a big market town as it is today? The 'Time Team' reveal evidence of a 13th-century aisled hall in a present-day garden in Much Wenlock. Through the identification of 13th-century pottery finds and tree-ring dating, they link the building with visits by Henry II.
