Get ready for an exciting new adventure as Time Team, the renowned British archaeology series, prepares for their next excavation in the charming town of Norton Disney. Scheduled for early October, this classic three-day dig promises to uncover a wealth of historical treasures and reveal the captivating stories hidden beneath the surface of this historic town.
Located in Lincolnshire, Norton Disney is steeped in a rich history and holds a fascinating past. From its medieval roots to its connections with the legendary Walt Disney, the town is brimming with untold secrets just waiting to be discovered. It provides the perfect setting for Time Team’s upcoming excavation.
“We are thrilled to be heading to Norton Disney and delving deeper into its history,” says Tim Taylor, creator and series producer of Time Team. “Each dig presents a unique opportunity to unearth unknown stories and connect with the past. We are eager to see what exciting discoveries await us in Norton Disney.”
Fresh off their recent month-long excavation at the iconic Sutton Hoo, Time Team promises a similarly captivating glimpse into the town’s heritage with their Norton Disney dig. With a focus on local history and community involvement, the excavation aims to engage residents and enthusiasts alike in the thrill of archaeological exploration.
Professor Carenza Lewis, a renowned archaeologist and longtime member of Time Team from the University of Lincoln, emphasizes the importance of community involvement on digs: “Engaging the local community is crucial for fostering a sense of ownership and pride in our shared heritage. By involving residents in the excavation process, we not only gain valuable insights, but also strengthen the bond between people and the places they call home.”
Richard Parker, secretary of the Norton Disney History and Archaeology Group, expresses his excitement for the upcoming dig: “This is a unique opportunity to uncover more of the town’s intriguing medieval past. The Disney family had a significant presence in the area for 400 years and left a lasting impact. As medieval knights and courtiers to the King, we hope to find more evidence of their time here.”
