ARCHAEOLOGY programme Time Team will reveal what it found when it dug at two Whittington landmarks tonight.

Time Team posted a video on Youtube in November 2022, from behind the scenes of their work at Halston Hall and Whittington Castle.

The first episode of the three-part series will air online on Friday, March 24 at 7pm, and the remaining two on Saturday and Sunday, March 25 and 26, at the same time.

Viewers will find out if the archaeologists discovered the remains of a lost community of the Knights Hospitallers, which were the Scottish headquarters of the Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitaller.

During the Dig Watch, a behind the scenes look at the Time Team’s work, watchers can already see some of the trenches and a couple of the test pits, and Tim Taylor, the series producers, explains how they got to the site in Whittington.

The archaeologists have chosen Whittington Castle and Halston Hall, after their fans on Patreon voted in a poll, and it originally came to light thanks to the ‘landscape detective work’ by Stewart Ainsworth.

In the past the team has looked at sites from the Palaeolithic all the way to the Second World War.

The Time Team will be posting the video on their official Youtube chanel, for free.
