Gardeners' World (1968)

S12E2 The Monastery and the Mansion - Nether Poppleton, Yorkshire

In the village of Nether Poppleton, located near York, Tony Robinson and his crew team up with local residents for an in-depth excavation aimed at uncovering the village’s true age. While the present-day layout displays a classic medieval design, a mention of the village in the Domesday Book leads the specialists to consider that its origins may trace back to the Saxon era or even earlier.
