Good morning from the field!

It is Day 3, as we investigate the site of a potential Knights Hospitaller Preceptory. We have another busy day ahead of us, with many outstanding questions still to be resolved.

We know how eager you are for news from the site, and look forward to sharing the full and extensive coverage when the schedule resumes very soon (full details to be announced).

We are capturing lots of fascinating insights into the process for the Dig Watch coverage, and we can promise you now, you are in for a very special treat. Today members of the team will be recording answers to your questions in our Q&A sessions.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this aerial tour of the site, filmed shortly before the full excavation team arrived. As you can see, we couldn't hope for a more beautiful setting for a dig!

PLEASE NOTE: This video has no audio.

Priscilla Reeve

Thank you! Good to get the site in my mind - very helpful

Mark Lund

What a gorgeous location! How old is the church/chapel? Is the 'river' actually a canal, or at least a waterway that has been straightened, or had its course changed in the past?

JUDITH COOKE

Stunning site! Best wishes to all for a very successful dig.

Steve Mikre

This drone view really adds perspective of why Stewart Ainsworth was very passionate about this site...

Julie Gray

The joy of being able to ‘step back’ and see the whole picture that drones have given us. Rather than a scaffold tower or cherry picker views

Bob and Pam

Spectacular video of the site. Looking forward to the dig!

Chris Ringland

As a forma member of the Order of St. John here in New Zealand it will be nice to fill in some of the history of the two groups, have a great dig.

Susie Stockton-Link

Super aerial shots. Is that a series of mediaeval fishponds, one wonders? Oooh, can't wait!

Robert Wise

Looks like Geophys in progress? Is that magnetometry?

Davis Johnson

That sure looks like "English landscape garden", interesting to see how much remains.

Jenna Tomlin

That gives wonderful context to the site.

Fern Wilcox

love the lighter brown and darker green patches/areas around the site. love the view! Thanks and have fun.

Graham Stokes

It is lovely. I can see people wanting to live there or offer a beauteous place for care of others.

Charles Weager

Are you expecting the church to be the "house" Chapel and beware that Haha on my site I suspect it hides significant archaeology.

Paul Bivand

Looks like it took Stewart Ainsworth to distinguish the earlier archaeological lumps and bumps from the Big House landscaping (eighteenth or nineteenth century). Similar to the villa site at Broughton in that respect.

Gloria Carbaugh

What a beautiful area! So excited to see more of it up close!

Jill Bray - Author

I'd love to know the history; when it was established; who granted the lands; how the site developed; who the preceptors were; and how recently were there remains of the buildings still standing.

Lou Nathaniels

what a wonderful place to put in a bunch of trenches!

Jared W Lynem

Remember when you needed a cherry-picker for those shots? lol

Jon Colcord

There’s slo-mo, and then there’s slo-mo. For a minute, I started to wonder if this was interactive, and that I was doing something wrong! Beautiful site though!

Elaine P

Very intriguing. And just miiiiight that church be connected to the preceptory? But apart from that, what a stunning spot.

Ann H

Water! Does that mean Naomi will also be looking for fish parts in her sifting?

Steve Bray

At 2:00 in there's an interestimg isolated hill on the horizon that (if it's not a slag heap) would be a cert for a pre-historic site.

Julie Turner

This is such quintessentially beautiful countryside beautiful countryside. So wonderful that this landscape showed such promise for archaeology and for

Julie Turner

historical purposes. Thank you, Stewart, for finding this site, and, of course,

Julie Turner

to all the time team members who are working on this project! Apologies to anyone who is reading my comment. I'm having some connectivity issues, hence, my three-part contribution.

Daniel Goyer

Beautiful location. Looking forward to watching this episode.

Carl Johnson

Great views. Looking forward to what we might be able to learn from the site.

Vern mcnasty Witter

I love the time Team show it’s absolutely incredibly and historically educational thank you

Julian Elcock

I suspect that that is a quite well known hill fort, one of several in the area.

Richard Davis

Was that trailer that was being towed around in the field north of the church doing a "Geofizz" survey?

Peter Martin

Hope you will be looking for the Mill.

Andy Quick

The weather looks good! Some of the episodes in the original Time Team series had some really atrocious weather.

Would love to know a little of the recent-ish history of the church as I'm always intrigued when a structure is built to stand proud against the environment as a beacon to the locals that can be seen for miles, which is then hidden by planting trees and not cutting them back?!?
