- Synopsis:
Tony Robinson and the team return for a new series with some of their most spectacular sites yet including Syon House in Chiswick, West London, one of the country's finest and best-preserved stately homes. Yet few people know that somewhere in the grounds once stood one of England's richest abbeys, founded by Henry V. The abbey finally fell foul of Henry VIII in 1539--but what might be left? Despite its central role in the conflicts between church and state throughout the 16th century, very little is known about Syon Abbey. What sort of layout did it have? How big was it? Early results from the dig are both exciting and confusing but, amidst much argument, the team slowly build a picture of what was once a truly extraordinary building.
