It’s taken three decades to discover the medieval house at Stourhead in Wiltshire. Learn how archaeologists found the historic remains of the original building as featured on BBC’s Hidden Treasures of the National Trust.
Filmed in 2023, National Trust archaeologist Martin Papworth and Stourhead’s archaeology team reveal how the old house was destroyed to make space for the mansion that you can still visit today. You’ll learn how the dig team found the original walls, which led to further discoveries such as a fireplace and animal bones. You’ll also hear how their findings will be analysed to determine the age of the building and the items found within it.
