Priory Engagement - Burford

This week Tony and the Team visit the Oxfordshire town of Burford to respond to a challenge from Professor Mick Aston.

Here, they investigate the remains of a medieval hospital in the grounds of Burford Priory, where Mick also found evidence of a lost Anglo-Saxon settlement.

Over the three days, the Team attempts to unearth the history of both the hospital and the earlier Saxon community, and the subsequent discoveries look set to redraw the historical map of the area
