Last night we released Part 2 of Digging for Disney, and it’s one you won’t want to miss. The hunt for the lost medieval manor house steps up a gear, with a brand-new trench in the paddock, test pits turning up finds across the village, and some fascinating insights from the parish church – including Disney family tombs and heraldry that may even have inspired Walt Disney himself.

With new discoveries in gardens and fields pointing towards the original manor, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together. Could we finally be closing in on the heart of the Disney estate?

If you missed the premiere, you can catch up now and don't forget to let us know what you think. Episode 3, the grand finale, is out tonight – so make sure you’re up to speed!

Thank you, as always for your support, it's because of you that this dig has happened.

Day 2: Digging for Disney - Time Team (Norton Disney) 2025

Day Two in Norton Disney, Lincolnshire, and the hunt for the lost medieval manor house continues! The team opens a second trench in the paddock, while test pits across the village reveal a wealth of finds. At the parish church, we explore Disney family tombs and heraldry that may have inspired Walt Disney himself. Meanwhile, new discoveries in Julia’s garden and beyond suggest that the original manor may lie hidden beneath. Could we finally be closing in on the heart of the Disney estate?

Having the group around the table discussing the day's progress was just fabulous. I admire these folks so much, and having them continue Time Team's legacy makes me a very proud patron

I may have missed it but what happened to the Disneys?

Mike Disney

Totally enjoying the series ... I actually visited Norton Disney in 1991! Does anyone on the Time Team know if any of the Norton Disney descendants has taken a Y-DNA test and if they're willing to share their Haplogroup?
