archaeological site, interesting place
This is Glendon Hall in Northamptonshire. A building with over 400 years of history, and this bit round here belongs to Martin Hipwell, who decided to build his mother a new house.
But when he dug the foundations he uncovered every builders worst nightmare, a dead body. And not just one, but another one, and another, and another, and another, and another, and another.
So what are they all doing in the outbuildings of an English country house? And just as importantly, how come no-one knew they were there? Time Team’s got just three days to come up with the answers.
