Storm Severus - EXTRA!

Hi Everyone! We still haven't managed to get out together, hit the fields, and uncover new lost stories. Paul, like a Medieval peasant, is still struggling with plague (Covid), and George has been in Devon fossil hunting... BUT, again, we don't want to leave you empty handed so we've given episode 2 the same treatment as last week.

And we've picked this one because it was already a cracker of an episode, and then, when we went back to the recordings, we realised that we'd left so much out! So here is a revamped Storm Severus for you, featuring one of the most incredible Roman coins we've ever seen...

And it made us think - if you're new around here, then first up - Welcome!
All our previous episodes stand alone, please do go digging in our back catalogue and listen to some of them, there's some amazing stories, landscapes and history beneath our feet.

To start with try:

Episode 18.
Medieval Madness where we uncover a lost medieval market, unearth two gorgeous silver coins and prove the site dates back even further when we discover a Roman brooch.

or

Episode 8.
The Horlicks Hoard. A dried up pond and a lost Victorian lunchbox and toolkit make this one of our most memorable episodes.

The Helmingham Hoard - EXTRA

Hi everyone. All the recent talk of plagues has brought one down on our own heads - Paul caught COVID and we haven't been able to hit the fields. But don't fear - we've done something we have been meaning to do for a while and re-cut our very first episode.

BUT this isn't just a re-edit and sound improvement job - we've added a load of extra content you haven't heard before! So, almost 7 years to the day that George found the Helmingham Hoard, and almost 2 years to the day that we found that gorgeous Iron Age gold stater while recording this very first episode, we hope you enjoy this new and improved version of the story.

Now with added Gold! And added Alice! Added history, and windy fields!

We'll be back soon when the plague has passed...

Episode 45
THE LAND ROVERS PODCAST

Medieval Purse Spill

Armed with two contrasting but incredible sources - Julius Caesar's account of his invasions of Britain and a recent archaeological report about a modern housing estate - the boys hit some new land right next to the site of a once flourishing Iron Age settlement.

But, as ever, the story the landscape has has to tell takes them in a completely different direction - out of the smoke filled Romano-British roundhouses and firmly into the 1300's.

And it does so in the most spectacular way possible with one of the most incredible moments on the pod so far...

The Black Death

Armed with new revelations about the incredible medieval pilgrim’s ampulla discovered in episode 40, the boys return to the mysterious field that kept it secret for almost 700 years.

Are there more echoes of the Black Death lurking beneath the clay?

Episode 43.
THE LAND ROVERS PODCAST

The Roman River

When the boys get invited to walk the newly ploughed land at the mighty Roman fort Combretovium, they jump at the chance. It is George’s birthday after all, this is something he’s wished for, and what they discover littering the landscape is incredible.

But it doesn’t stop there - the old Roman road crosses the river at the end of the fields - so they finish the day waders on and waist deep in ancient waters…
