Time Team S10-E11 Castle.Howard,.Yorks 

Binging on TT is such fun, and it's not fattening! (As long as you don't eat too many chocolate cookies!)

Ironically Simon Howard was turfed out of Castle Howard by his older brother in 2016....a family tiff apparently. I used to work with the oldest brother Henry at nearby Whitwell Hall in the early 1980’s .A real eccentric ( disinherited after he sold off a few treasures) but nice enough fella he was basically broke when I knew him and reduced to doing odd jobs .The rest of the Howard family have a reputation locally for stinginess . Lady Howard commissioned a horse painting from me but then told me the price was a bit steep .....this coming from a family that once owned a Michaelangelo! .Henry died a few years back and Simon and ‘Lady Howard’ downsized to Welham Hall ... a slightly more modest stately pile.

Can't say it enough. You are wonderful for posting these. Thank you

Hello! I have been enjoying this series several times over and want to thank you AND The Team, and Fillask for this continuing access. I have learned SO much and enjoy the entertainment aspects as well as the arguments, passions and POV's presented. Fascinating locations and ideas.

Congratulations on the baby Corenza!

Vicarious pleasure is derived from imagining how nice it would be to own a palace like this. But my sense of ethics and morality is tested severely with the idea that anyone deserves to live in a palace, while others are homeless.

Heck I was almost OK with "the man" when he agreed his ancestors were ruthless… But then he had to ruin it by adding "but look what they built in its place".

For those that struggle with English (or Australian), Mike is referring to the "Beeching Report" of 1963 where 2300+ stations and 5000 miles of track were reviewed for closure this revamping a rail system that was decimated by road freight transport. (I had to look it up and that Mike said, "...in the '60's... " & google for correcting "beaching!")

I love this show. Thank you for posting these episodes.

Great ...thanks for posting these...I am catching up with all the missed episodes

"Probably, probably ... probably" -- typical Impatient Tony observation

There is an abandoned small village from the 1700s about 10 km from me here in Sweden. It has not been leveled, but all buildings have fallen, and I suspect well plundered. There not much to see, but it is interesting to visit in early spring before the year's weedy vegetation kicks in.

I love the way they bicker because there is so much rapport. How Tony "complains" and pretends to criticize and Mick patiently explains how things are going and wht to be optimistic. The interpersonal chaffing of each other among intelligent people with a sense of humour is much of what makes this great, along with the fascinating subject material and genuine enthusiasm of all concerned. You don't get that just helicoptering in a pretty face.

In this episode, you can see Mick and Tony reallly disapproved of what happened to the village.

I love this show. Thank you

How many conversations like that did Mick and Tony have. The ones that wound Tony up so much. Mick was always telling him they'd possibly probably, definitely know more about a sight by the end of the dig. Most likely. But it probably wouldn't be what you'd expect. LOL

Thanks, RZ, for the upload!

Thanks for the upload

The thing that is most sad is that the residents of the village back than would have had absolutely no legal recourse. They had no way to be able to fight to keep their homes and this was common, more so in the Georgian era, than the Stuarts, but it still happened. Nobles were not even required to give any kind of warning, they could toss people out and demolish their homes and goods right in front of their eyes. Common people were treated very poorly with very few legal rights and even at this stage, hunting or gathering resourses for your survival on owed land even if you had been tossed out of your home would either get you hung or shot if you were caught.

I really like sir Simons view. We have had these questions for ages let's do what we need to do to answer them. Bravo to him.

Never seen Stewart so frustrated in all the TT episode than this one.

Fabulous series. So informative.

Urban renewal, medieval style. Out with the villagers, in with the pretty people.

The locals should have turned up with pitchforks and torches and torn the castle down. Then just fill up the grounds with some really cheesy prefab split-levels and a McDonalds.

Brideshead!! You expect Anthony Andrews to come walking out with a teddy bear.

Omg ive been their last month and its amazing place x

Do not think I could get used to having my posh house called a "stately pile."

When Phil starts digging the dirt rains down for 3 days. HA HA HA

My ancestors & relatives. Great video. My father has the bald head and long nose. My Howard history is so exciting to to look up. Famous people in our history books and the thrill to know that they are my cousins and many great grandparents. I wish I could visit my Howard History's Castle.

BBC today has the hot dry weather as showing many sites the Time Team would loooove! Not even needing geo-physic!

Thanks

3:06. I thought he said something else at first. Lol. 🙈🙉🙊

Am I the only one who has noticed that the owner and employee were kind of plopping the finds in the hoof of that nice Time Team Jeep yet told Tony and Mick to be careful with the lawn when digging? 😂🤦

39:45 Tony says they have found the home of Ralph Kendall and his four bears. Most unusual to have 4 bears in a village house, don't you think?

Oh my, I am pretty sure the snobby owner was pissed about what Time Team did to his lawn looking for the "lost village" and church. Everyone seems to be really confused about this site.

This wasn't as bad as it first seems. Several other lords did the same thing, and they all moved the villagers to new locations. You have to remember these people were tenant farmers, they did not own the land they were living on. Bigger manors also required more labor, and more food so people at least had jobs.

I am guessing all the foundations were removed so the grass wouldn't show parch marks or have lumps and bumps.

At 8:30 - "what sort of person do you think he was?" A very self-centered one, to have had removed a whole village; his portrait seems apt for that opinion.

First aired March 16, 2003.

17 years ago, like yesterday

When is Bridie going to come out being chased by lady Julia? I will never get over the sound of peacocks--my grandparents had them. Wonderful guard dogs along with the goose they had that for the longest period of time never hatched gooslings but then the spring my parets git marries and the old one was slated to be served at lunch--a gaggle. Somehow that goose either sought out a male or for some reason a male decided to decend into my grandparents back garden! LOL. Nothing like going over to your granparents house to see eggs in the nest. But despite my grandfather rasing calves to be butchered they never butchered the chickens. It was my other set of grandparents that took to butchering their chickens and ineviatebaly seeing that animal running around the inner courtyard headless. I am told that there is no way to avoid the reaction when butchered I giess unless you kosher kill them? LOL.

How can you hold a clam shell in your hand in broad daylight and call it an oyster shell?

Tony seems to be getting burned-out in this episode (not that I am watching them in order.)

Thank you, Mick! The king, Henry VIII, whom Tony calls England's greatest king, was rotten through and through. A louse!

audio has become WAY out of sync

25:37 "trinch"... that's aussie for trench...

Earl ? = Kisser of the royal bottom. HA HA HA.

arrangements W/ YALE ?

Why doesn't Time Team own a sod cutting machine like they used in a previous episode?

@ 3:10 does the guy say " this isn't any old shit" ? About the pottery!?

I gotta tell ya...sometimes the opulence of these English manor houses is disgusting..most of them got their money from slaving...

I always wondered; "Why only three days?" Is it for television timing or is it law that you can only dig for three days before you have to get expensive permits? A few shows have been more than three days but on those we see local magistrates workers coming by to see their dig.

The .01%. Face palm.

@46:09 look at the vest Simon Howard is wearing... did someone dump a pot of tea over him? brown shading looks like a stain.

Fie episode sound way behind vision!

Probably...

First appearance of Brigid ?

Fix the Issue with the audio!!!! Very frustrating

The voice sink is way off.

If someone today tried to tell me they are royalty, or nobility, I'd give them a nice pat on the head and recommend a good therapist. And if they insisted on taking it seriously, I'd chop off their head; the proper remedy for such foolishness. The Honorable Simon Snoot, with his very important lawn, sounds little better than the fellow who threw out an entire village so he could have a better view of a lake.

Correct syncing on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QL5Uso6xkvg.html

8:30 basically he was the kind of person to erase a village to further his prestige lol.

start digging in the USA still goes on, eminent domain of private land for private big company use.

They got rid of the church and, lo, what do we find instead: a pyramid, an obelisk and the calls of peacocks. For those, who understand...nuff said.

I think anyone who "pretends" to be an impatient grouch is indistinguishable from someone who is.

pls expedite funds for legal and living $50,000

howard still the family.............still time to tar and feather a howard,

Does John Gator have a daughter called Alexandria?

Carenza was correct Chris. It was so that THE Essentially Divine Service also known as The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that "Divine" is Referred to for it is indeed Divine since Almighty God Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ become present BODY, BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY. It is not the other way around. The other services are not Divine IN SE, but the Mass IS, as Carenza pointed out.

The arrogance and selfishness of the rich and powerful destroyed this and many other villages, casting inhabitants out onto the road to wander or die. Nobody cared. Has anything actually changed? Ask the six million British people now officially living in poverty. Ask many more living hand-to-mouth in the insecure gig economy. Ask the elderly, taxed to the hilt and then forced to sell their homes in order to pay for care in their final years, thus depriving their children of an inheritance.

The sound track is so far out of sync that Tony might as well be talking Sanskrit.

Did Tony say oi vey. The Yiddish Jewish term for Oh God? Next he'll be saying shmatta and tuchis

Eat the rich.

wat a rich person to own tht ...f him lol

Elevated status by accident of birth 🙄

owener of the castle with his trophy wife: throat cancer....i rest my case.

Not sure how digging in the ground will tell you where the village inhabitants went. But again, someone spent great time and money in the past to create maps that represent nothing.

Does geophys ever not complain an make excuses. Geesh. I guess 20% of the time geophys reads it right. Not great track record. Sorry just get tired of john explaining geophys problems.

veilum, calf skin. should have been lord and lady skin.

Mick🌈sweater ✔️

Simon was a bit self righteous, the new guy there is like a 60s BoHO. He's cool. Castle Howard is the ugliest house in Yorkshire. I'm just happy half of it is derelict inside. The fire is the 40s wasn't severe enough.

I dunno how other folks find these videoes, but I've found that most of them have the sound well out of synch with the visuals..... *slightly* off-putting........

Thanks for posting. I've watched most of Time Team, some twice. While the program is entertaining, the large majority of the episodes are a huge disappointment. They go like this: we're looking for xyz... dig a trench, maybe nothing or something but not what we thought, repeat with each trench, epilogue is we didn't find or only found part of xyz... here's some pottery and some tiny artifacts, here's some nice drawings (based grossly from imagination) of what we were looking for but never actually found, we entertained the land owner and locals, and we thank you the TV audience for watching us gab and stumble around for an hour. An American analogy is like the time Geraldo Rivera opened a wall that might have (but never did) contain Al Capone's stash of loot. An extraordinary hours worth of fluffly filler that concludes with not much else.

Soundtrack is off. I refuse to watch it like that

Audio sync is horrible here..cant watch past ten mins

I wonder just how many children Carenza has. She appears pregnant in a LOT of these shows!

mick talked too much, did too little- actually never did anything but prancing about. lmao

Too much Baldrick in this one, blocking out the archeology.

Phil Harding went out on a date with his sister that night. He was scared that his mother might find out he was cheating on her.
