Time Team
S11E01 In Search of the Brigittine Abbey - Syon House, London
The team delves into a medieval enigma surrounding Syon Abbey, established by Henry V and later expanded by his son, Henry VI. This grand monastery, home to nuns from a little-known Swedish order, mysteriously disappeared during Henry VIII's rule, with its remnants now lying beneath the expansive lawns of modern Syon House, crafted by Capability Brown. Their discoveries reveal a monumental structure, yet opinions differ on its original purpose. After examining the House's foundations, Stewart and Jonathan come to a consensus about the church's size, joined by architectural historian Jonathan Foyle and monastic specialist Barney Sloane.
