The Lost Flour Mill In Domesday | Time Team

- The Time Team believes an 11th-century flour mill once stood on her land, near Stoke Trister in Somerset, and asks the Team to dig. There is reference to a mill in the parish in Domesday, and standing remains of a building depicted in a 1782 parish map. Multiple leat earthworks in the area indicate multiple mills over the centuries. The remains of the standing mill include parts of the last mill wheel, a 19th century overshot wheel.

Time Team will be viewed for generations to come. It is truly epic television, and the people involved are absolutely brilliant in every respect. Tony Robinson is most responsible for its relatability and sense of fun, all the while keeping the academics from getting too far off the track. Simply well done from first show to last. Thank you, Time Team!
Maybe the next generation will produce a new TimeTeam and it is a whopping six days long rather than three.
They just need a new crew for the Enterprise... I mean Time Team, to come in and take up the reigns for each new generation
you all prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Melvin Van Instablaster ;)
this isn't Time Team, they have two official channels :D this is just a YT channel paying to rebroadcast episodes
Good god I love Time Team. Discovering this during the current quarantine has been a sanity saver!
Same
10:47. Stewart and the sandbox-landscape. Brilliant!
These videos were very well done. The ENTIRE team is incredible.
3 DAYS was never enough! Great show! Great episode.
Time Team is one of my favourite programmes ever! thank you for uploading.
I absolutely love how time team manages to always find artifacts not dirty in the least just lying on the surface in plain view not like it was planted for viewership at all...
Phil’s accent is fan-friggin’-tastic✌️
I could sure do without his cut-off shorts though.
@@brushbros That's a matter of opinion. Of course, I'm not big on half naked women, so I understand.
My thoughts on Harding’s accent exactly. Personally, I LOVE IT!
@@brushbros no our Phil rocks his shorts, he has a great set of pins.
@@brushbros Oh, we definitely want Phil in his cut off shorts.
"it's a water wheel."

"Oi, ItS a Wa' Uh WhEe-UhL."
Pretty sure that pretty "art deco ash tray" is actually a glass piano caster cup. Theyre really pretty, and if you google them the very first image result is one that looks just like the "ash tray"
Stewart and Mick are Like Sherlock Holmes.
"I've lost the will to live" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👌
I love a good mill! Such fun to see the history and excavation process!
30 minutes in and I'm fascinated.
6:15 "In a way, they're the first machines ..."

🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Fun fact The word ‘’long’’ is shorter than the word ‘’short’’
Does that mean the word "short" is longer than the word "long?"
I absolutely love Time Team
I love watching these videos while playing Age of Empires 1 and 2.
Thank you.
I love how they thought "that's the photo of tony we want for the thumbnail".
Seem to me that the discussion concerning there being SEVERAL mills should be around the amount of water power ( the LEAT) required to run the original wooden mill versus that required to operate the METAL WHEEL !!
An interesting idea. Depends on a number of considerations. They said the mill was in a pasture area and so the mill possibly only operated in the winter months when water flow good in any sized leat. Up to the 12th century most mills operated by a horizontal wheel which could work for most water flows. Even with most of the mill building and works made of timber, medieval mills did use some iron and brass in the machinery and so the metal detector on site could have found faint traces
You having amazing stuff
I wish I could find someone like Faye. Haha
23:25 First time I recall seeing a detectorist on site. I'm now wondering why there isn't a whole squad of them on the show.
there are. They've been featured on several episodes. In the earlier episodes there were sifters going through the spoils piles trying to sift out anything that was small and overlooked. But there was always someone walking around with metal detectors, they may not have been filmed, or made it into the edit every show, but they were definatly there on most/every site.
Don’t even wanna think about digging in that clay by hand 😩
I live in the gulf coast of the U.S. so i'm all too familiar with clay like that, and that's all i could think too when i saw that.. "My god they must have been absolutely desperate to dig that." I couldn't imagine digging that leak, or whatever it's called, that channel in clay.
maxdecphoenix 👍
Baldrick was not that dumb, after all! ;)
24:40 If the bequest doesn't specifically mention the mill, and later it mentions Mary having "tenure or possession" of it, is it reasonable to assume the earlier miller actually owned it? The mill might have been owned by someone else and the miller-family were operating it. From a modern perspective, recording who manages the property on the deed is weird, but maybe that was how it was done sometimes back then?
I'm assuming there's text or footage we're not seeing or the two archivists were relying on knowledge & experience they didn't explain to us.
@Brisdad53 Cool, thanks for the insight. How common was it for a person to operate a mill for a mill owner? Or was it a family business type of thing?
Research into medieval mills that I did for County Kilkenny in south east Ireland showed 3 or 4 layers of ownership before you get to the Miller in about half the mills. Not enough information to know for sure about the undecided mills
@@Celtic2Realms Some things never change ;(
I appreciate you sharing your research C2R!
Love it as usual, we learn so much don't we? I just have a question which doesn't seem to be addressed, but where does the water go after it turns the wheel? I think, it would have to go somewhere and that is the reason mills and even water powered dams work to turn turbines, is that the water passes throw, doing its thing but has to come out at the other end into a stream or river. They didn't show that in their explanations. Any thoughts, anyone? thanks
Stewart and his sandbox landscape showed that the leet water returned to the stream a short distance after passing the mill.
This is especially interesting to me because my great grandfather Thompson became a middle Georgia millwright after his days of working for Jeff Davis on the field of battle.

Somebody call 112 now! I see a fire in the background.
Shame about that comb! haha

Plus, Liam neeson
What if they were milling tree nuts?
WHY ONLY 3 DAYS??
35:43 is it me or does Crocodile Dundee have her hat on Backwards ?
Sure looks like it.
If you look at the top its on correctly the brim is just molded weird
best part of this episode? the terrible mill-related humor XD
Why don't you have the text Tony Robinson somewhere on this video so I can search for Tony Robinson videos? A #TonyRobinson tag would really be helpful.
Good grief, those Time Team chicks are the hottest!
I believe that there weren't a lot of dig sites on this site so Mick was simply humoring Stewart & allowing so many different trenches looking for a nonexistent ancient mill. But Mick didn't have to go so far as to make it look as if Stewart actually has any brains though!
16:24.....fake cringe laughing...
Why are the ladies of archaeology always so freakin hot?
The lost power mill...the rules of the crown of lies...
Rent energy ..no free energy.
helen was busy searching for a spot while phil was eager to lend his hand and uncover her trench as he was told
The thumbnail pic made me uncomfortable
Mick🌈sweater ✔️
The aspiring cornet architecturally bare because botany endogenously scatter through a hungry exchange. sedate, ashamed wood
The humorous store typically strap because child demographically puncture inside a obeisant conifer. scintillating, crowded forest
Phil needs to trim those nose hairs.
Why, it suits him.
The outstanding larch ipsilaterally offer because headlight macroscopically drag beyond a measly partridge. unable, lean dream
The dear bank laterally permit because estimate optically intend afore a obsolete asia. lacking, ill-fated fact
You have to put subtitles in your channel in Greek and not an automatic translation, because the automatic is for kicks, are you racist? After all, is Greece and its culture to blame for everything?
@Joy Jones Did you understand that from what I wrote?
@Joy Jones Did I say they are racist? I did question! are you racist? Do you know what you are writing my man?
The concerned lizard systematically offer because lyocell demographically connect against a fallacious chicory. enchanted, deafening psychology
My personal opinion?
These guys waste a lot of money, time, and effort to discover nothing of importance, and always fail to discover any definitive proof of that.
Every show!
I don’t know enough about archaeology to say anything about the scientific value of this programme, but I can comment on “waste a lot of money, time, and effort”: It’s a tv-show that drew so many viewers that it was worthwhile to make new episodes for two decades.
If you think that’s a waste, then all films and tv-shows purely made for entertainment are a waste as well.
@@Brinta3 ,. You don't know much about where these shows get the funds to produce them either. Lol
It's not the same as a movie made for entertainment.
These shows are partially funded by PBS, etc. PBS receives a lot of public tax-payer money.
PBS is a non profit taxpayer funded broadcast network.
They don't even get money from advertisers.
Like I said, this is a waste of money.
@@unitedwestand5100
This is the British TimeTeam, and it has nothing to do with the American PBS.
TimeTeam was a show on Channel Four, which is nearly entirely self-funded. The channel makes it money through commercials, sponsorships, dvd-sales, CZcams, and selling syndication/broadcast rights to other networks/countries. For example, TimeTeam seasons were sold to a Dutch tv channel and was shown there for years. This made Channel Four a lot of money, and that’s just from one country.
TimeTeam lasted for years because viewers loved it and therefore it was profitable (more viewer -> more money from commercials, is one factor), not because someone decided to waste taxpayers’ money.
@@Brinta3 ,. Yes it did...
The landowner who asked them to excavate did not consider it a waste of effort. Neither did the National Trust when they have asked TT to excavate sites for them. The Royal Historian asked them to excavate part of Kensington Garden to find some architecture from King George III so I guess what is considered " a waste" is subjective. If you consider this such a waste; then why are you watching?
