We're very proud to share another of our 3D tours created by the amazing Matt Clark!

Click here for the Tour!

Time Team visited Norton Disney in rural Lincolnshire, on the hunt for a long lost medieval moated Manor House. Here is our reconstruction of how the lost moated Manor House might have looked, informed by the dig itself, and information from Time Team and local experts, the study of the landscape and comparative historical sites. Now is your chance to look around. Explore the hall and venture outside, around the moat, and into the church where recreations of the Disney tombs can be found.In the Digging For Disney episode's Richard oversees the trenches, digging deep for dateable evidence; Carenza persuades the entire village to get involved, and manages a hundred volunteers test pitting up and down Main Street; Stewart spearheads the search for the moat in the wider landscape; and Gus follows in Walt’s famous footsteps, marvelling at the Disney family’s medieval history, as the origins of the village get pushed further and further back.Watch the full Norton Disney Time Team 3 day Digging For Disney dig Here

Big thanks to Bear at Shadow Tor Studios, without who non of these tours or 3D Models would be possible! Make sure to send him some love in the comments!

Fantastic work Bear! Just curious if the swords are contemporary with the rest of the animation, they look to be of more recent design?

Matt Bear Clark

They might also be a sub reference to a Disney film… 😜

Great work! "Virtual reality" is improving more and more. I loved the silly song the players in the hall were singing 😄

Fabulous! Great to see Tinkerbell making an appearance, along with all the other little 'easter eggs' :)

Bob Greaves

Great job, but why was there an open fire in the middle of the room?

Still open hearths at this period. "Chimneys were not widely used in domestic buildings until brick became available in the late medieval period. Before this, most dwellings used open hearths, with one large fire typically located in the centre of the building for both heating and cooking. The smoke would billow around the inside of the building before escaping through gaps or louvres in the roof. In timber framed buildings a shorter bay was sealed off from the rest of the building with wattle and daub infill panels to allow for smoke to escape, this was known as a ‘smoke bay ’. Some early chimneys in solid wall buildings were constructed of timber framing with a wattle and daub infill known as a ‘smoke hood’. If they are found in-situ or even in use, they are important and rare survivals of historic fabric which should be conserved. The earliest brick chimneys were often built over open hearths." https://historicengland.org.uk/advice/your-home/improvement/open-fires-chimneys-and-flues/ (You have to click the + to expand the first 'Historic Development' heading) You can see examples of this changing pattern in the various buildings at the Weald and Downland Living Museum and it makes one of the biggest differences in the houses as you move through time. Chimneys allowed smaller, warmer rooms because you didn't need a huge space to accommodate smoke above the people in the room. That changes all sorts of things socially and is part of the big shift happening particularly over the 16th century.
